Men living in the most deprived areas were expected to live 74.1 years in 2017-2019, compared with 83.5 years in the least deprived areas – a difference of almost a decade of life, according to newly released life expectancy analysis by the Office for National Statistics.
Women living in the most deprived areas could expect to live to 78.7, whereas women in the least deprived areas could expect to live 86.4 years, a difference of almost eight years.
Since 2014-2016, there were significant improvements in male and female life expectancy at birth, except for women in the 'most deprived' group, whose life expectancy actually decreased by 4.2 weeks. The data also shows:
In 2017 to 2019 the difference in life expectancy at birth between the least and most deprived areas in England was 9.4 years for men and 7.6 years for women; the gap has remained constant for men but a small increase was observed for women since 2014 to 2016.
Women and men living in the least deprived areas of England saw a significant increase in life expectancy between 2014 to 2016 and 2017 to 2019; in the most deprived areas no significant changes were observed.
There were significant decreases in female disability-free life expectancy at birth between 2014 to 2016 and 2017 to 2019.
The OECD ranks the UK 23rd out of 44 countries for a total life expectancy at birth of 81.3 years, just after Portugal (81.4) and slightly ahead of Germany (81.0), while the CIA world factbook puts the UK 38th in in a global comparison.
