Women in Liverpool and Knowsley are expected to live seven years and eight months less than those in the country’s richest areas, according to a study.
An analysis published by the Health Foundation on April 17 showed that the life expectancy for women living in the poorest 10% areas of England is lower than that for any OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) country, except Mexico. The average life expectancy for women in these areas, such as Liverpool and Knowsley, is 78.7 years at birth in 2017 to 2019.
But for women living in the country’s richest areas, such as Chiltern, Hampshire, Hart and Rutland, life expectancy was 86.4 years – seven years and eight months longer.
