Life expectancy drops among poorer women in England The life expectancy of women living in the poorest areas of England fell by 100 days in recent years, Office for National Statistics data suggests.
Between 2012-2014 and 2015-2017, female life expectancy in the richest areas increased by 84 days, widening the gap between rich and poor by half a year.
In men, the gap also widened - but less markedly.
Life expectancy in the UK as a whole has stopped improving at the rate expected, the ONS said. BBC News
