People, population and community Interested in finding out how geography and social circumstances are linked to gaps in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy in England? More than a third of 25 - 64 year olds in the lowest healthy life expectancy areas were economically inactive in 2015 because they were long-term sick or disabled. What affects an area's healthy life expectancy? People are living longer than ever before. Newborn boys in England in 2013 to 2015 could expect to live until 80 years old, while baby girls were likely to reach their 83rd birthday. However, these children are likely to spend at least 20% of their lives in poorer health. Boys born in 2013 to 2015 will enjoy just 63 years of good health on average, while girls can expect 64 healthy years.  |
