Life expectancy progress in UK 'stops for first time'

Life expectancy progress in UK 'stops for first time' Life expectancy in the UK has stopped improving for the first time since 1982, when figures began.

Women's life expectancy from birth remains 82.9 years and for men it is 79.2, the figures from the Office for National Statistics, for 2015-17, show.

In some parts of the UK, life expectancy has even decreased. BBC News
