UK bottom of league table for life expectancy gains The UK has experienced the biggest slowdown in increased life expectancy across major nations, official data suggests.
The figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show Britain is bottom of a league table of 20 leading countries when it comes to improvements in mortality for pensioners.
Experts said that while some slow down was evident in a number of countries across Europe, North America, and Australia, the trends in the UK were particularly steep. The Daily Telegraph
