| Annotation | This study investigated variations in life expectancy at birth between rural and urban areas of England for 2001-07, taking deprivation into account. The Rural and Urban Area Classification 2004 and the Index of Multiple Deprivation 2007 were used to categorise areas at the Lower Super Output Area level. Overall, life expectancy was higher in rural areas than urban areas. Within rural settlements, people living in village and dispersed areas had higher life expectancies than those in town and fringe areas. Deprivation had a considerable impact on the results and wide inequalities were evident across all area types. The results demonstrated that it is important to examine differences in life expectancy in both area and deprivation contexts. (KJ). |
