Up to 19 per cent of Tasmanians rated their health as fair-poor, and only 16.9 per cent considered themselves to be in excellent condition - almost 3 per cent below the national average.

The statistics released on Tuesday contain damning figures for the state when compared with national averages.

Tasmania remains the fattest state in the country, with 67.5 per cent of people (264,200) weighing in as either obese or overweight, compared with the national average of 64.5 per cent.

The report shows that although Australian rates of daily smoking continue to drop - 14.5 per cent, compared with 16.1 per cent in 2011-12 - Tasmania still sits at almost 18 per cent.

The figure puts the state as the second worst for daily smoking, behind the Northern Territory, which has a rate of 20.9 per cent.

According to the statistics, poor health outcomes for Tasmanians can be attributed to elevated excessive single-occasion and lifetime alcohol consumption levels, 45.7 per cent and 18.6 per cent respectively.

Poor high blood pressure rates (28.4 per cent), low exercise levels (62.7 per cent) and levels of severe or very severe bodily pain sit at 10.8 per cent.

While the state struggles with health habits, there was some good news - it is ahead by 4.7 per cent on vegetable consumption.

The state holds equal highest reports of back problems in Australia, at 18.2 per cent with South Australia, and has a rate of 20.8 per cent of people who reported mental and behavioural problems.

Mental and behavioural conditions continue to lead the national statistics, with four million registering with problems, followed by 3.5 million with arthritis, and 2.5 million with asthma.

"The Hodgman Liberal Government has a plan to make Tasmania the healthiest state in the nation by 2025.  To achieve this we launched One State, One Health System, Better Outcomes which is designed to fix the broken system which we inherited.

To give Tasmania the sustainable health system it deserves, we need to do things differently. We cannot continue repeating the same decisions from the past which have created an inefficient health system that fails to provide the same level of health care in Tasmania compared with other jurisdictions. The Liberal Government has provided record funding for health and we want it to be used to get the best possible health outcomes.

Earlier this year we also launched the Rethink Mental Health strategy. This is a roadmap for improved mental health services and support over the next decade.

The Commonwealth and Tasmanian Governments agree that the one-size-fits-all model does not work best in mental health.

Our Rethink strategy is committed to providing the right care and support at the right time and in the right place. It focuses on individual tailored support and early intervention.

Rethink also recognises that people need to know where and how to get help and that it should be easy to access the support they need at the time they need it.

We are also developing a five year strategic plan for preventative health in Tasmania. Known as A Healthy Tasmania, this comprehensive health strategy will be released for public consultation in the near future.

Delivering improvements in preventative health will work in conjunction with our reforms of clinical services to take pressure off hospitals and deliver better health outcomes for Tasmanians."
