Males aged in the most deprived areas could live up to years less than those in the least deprived areas, with the difference at years for females

Notes:

 

  1. Combining ‘remaining years expected to live in good health’ and ‘remaining years expected to live in poorer health’ provides the estimate of overall ‘life expectancy’ from the age group selected.
  2. The order of the stacked bars does not necessarily dictate the order in which you will experience these health states, for example, poorer health will not necessarily appear at the end of life.
  3. Survey respondents who answered their general health as “very good” and “good” were classified as having good health. Those who answered “fair”, “bad” and “very bad” were classified as having poorer health.
