"Figure 5: People aged 70 years and over and those with a self-defined disability were more likely than the general population to regularly stop and talk to their neighbours","" "Percentage of people who regularly stop and talk with people in their neighbourhood, UK, 2017 to 2018","" "","" "Notes","1. Adults aged 16 years and over were asked to what extent they agree that they regularly stop and talk with people in their neighbourhood, where the options were: “strongly agree”, “agree”, “neither agree nor disagree”, “disagree” and “strongly disagree”. Those reporting “strongly agree” and “agree” is used as the indicator. 2. In Understanding Society: The UK Household Longitudinal Study, “self-defined disabled” has been calculated using the variable, health. This question asks: “Do you have any long-standing physical or mental impairment, illness or disability? By ‘long-standing’ I mean anything that has troubled you over a period of at least 12 months or that is likely to trouble you over a period of at least 12 months.” This question is able to be answered by proxy. In this question, a respondent decides to self-identify as disabled. This question is not the Government Statistical Service harmonised principle for assessing long-lasting health conditions or illness."
