UK: GREATER LONGEVITY FOR SOUTHERNERS
Article Abstract:
Life expectancy for those who live in the south of England is longer than for those from the north, according to Office for National Statistics figures based on a survey conducted from 1995-1997. The survey indicates that health, region and social deprivation are connected, and that where people live makes a difference. Women who live in East Dorset, in the south, have a life expectancy of 83.5 years, versus 8.1 years less for women in Glasgow, Scotland. Men in Chiltern, Buckinghamshire, in the south, have a life expectancy of 78.4 years, versus men in Glasgow, whose life expectancy is ten years less.
