This study was able to determine the extent to which users of mental health services (who comprise 8% of the population of WA) have different rates of physical illness compared to the general population for the period 1980–98. The study compared deaths, the total number of cancers that were diagnosed and hospital admission rates in people with mental illness with the general population.
