What鈥檚 it about?

Our research has examined the inequalities in health using Office for National Statistics (ONS) data on life expectancy. The differences in life expectancy between local areas in the UK can be as high as 25 years. 

The deprivation levels of an area and premature mortality are strongly associated, and the differences in life expectancy between economically deprived and prosperous areas are increasing. In some areas the long-term increases in life expectancy have stalled or even reversed. 

A number of interrelated factors are associated with lower life expectancy. These include access to health care, income, employment, smoking and alcohol consumption, diet, exercise, the local environment, social status and social isolation.
 

What鈥檚 on offer?

How does where you live affect your life expectancy? What can we do about it? 

Find out at this pop-up information session, based around the striking differences in life expectancy at key points along the River Mersey and the River Thames. 

The maps are using the River Mersey and the River Thames to link life expectancy data to well known places. The researchers will be on hand to answer questions and leaflets will also be given out with information about the research and the findings.
