AnnotationAn overview of inequalities between countries and government office regions in England and of variations between local authorities across the UK reveals clear geographic variations in expectation of life. Although not the whole picture, life expectancy in Scotland was markedly lower than in England for both males and females, and regions in the north of England had lower life expectancy than those in the south. This article follows on from "Geographic inequalities in mortality in the United Kingdom during the 1990s" published in Health Statistics Quarterly 07, and expands on the approach taken in that article. Use of the DETR Indices of Deprivation 2000 at the area level within England indicate an association between decreasing life expectancy and increasing deprivation, particularly among males. (RH).
