The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is a measure of multiple deprivation at Super Output Area level. The IMD has seven domains, one of which is the Health Deprivation and Disability Domain.

The purpose of the Health deprivation and disability domain is to identify areas with relatively high rates of:
1. premature deaths
2. impaired quality of life, due to poor health
3. people with disabilities

This version of the Index was first published in 2004. See http://www.communities.gov.uk/documents/communities/pdf/131206.pdf for further details.
