AnnotationVariations and trends in life expectancy in 105 English district health authorities (DHAs) were investigated in relation to rank, gender, and to Jarman deprivation category score. Mortality data for English district health authorities from 1984 to 1994, compiled by the Office for National Statistics (ONS, previously the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys, OPCS), were assessed conventionally and using life table techniques. Results indicate that differences in life expectancy had widened over the decade and prosperous areas with the greatest longevity had seen the largest gains. In most deprived areas, improvements in life expectancy were negligible. The greatest gender differences in life expectancy were also seen in deprived areas. (RH).
