UK Healthy Life Expectancy Has Fallen by More Than 2 Years, Study Warns

A Health Foundation report says UK healthy life expectancy has fallen by more than two years in a decade.

Years lived in good health have dropped to just under 61, below the state pension age.

The decline raises concern about worsening population health, workforce pressures and public finances.

The gap is stark between affluent and deprived areas, with places like Richmond and Blackpool showing very different outcomes.
