British Medical Journal 2022 – Life expectancy: [Parts of England and Wales see “shocking” fall: The latest data from the Office for National Statistics show that men born in the poorest areas of the country are now expected to live almost 10 years less (73.5 years in the period 2018 to 2020) than those in the richest areas (83.2 years), and women eight years less (78.3 versus 86.3).](https://www.bmj.com/content/377/bmj.o1056)
