healthier lives
• Life expectancy from birth - men can expect to
live until 78 years and women until 82 years
• Life expectancy at 65 - men can expect to live
more than 17 years, and women more than 20
years
• Life expectancy is higher than it has ever been
• People in the poorest areas expect to live up to
10-12 years less than people in richer areas.

Marmot Report –
Key messages
•Health inequalities result from
social inequalities – requires
action on all the social
determinants; the causes of the
causes
•Focusing solely on the most
disadvantaged will not reduce
inequalities sufficiently – action
is needed across the social
distribution.
