Life Expectancy Stalls

Life expectancy gains have stalled in England. Having experienced continuous improvement in life expectancy from 1890 to 2010 this improvement has slowed, almost halting for much of the population and even falling for the poorest 10% of women. The scale of the slowdown leaves the UK standing out from other comparable countries.

 

Life expectancy at birth in England in 2018 to 2020 was 79.0 years for men and 82.9 years for women
