Public health experts say there is a widening gap between the North and the rest of England after also looking at infant mortality rates, disabilities, unpaid care, and how people assess their own health.
The life expectancy for babies born in the North of England is a year less than the national average, new data has found.
Public health experts have warned of a widening gap between the North and the rest of England after also studying infant mortality rates, disabilities, unpaid care, and how people assess their own health. Academics from the new Health Equity North institute looked at data from the 2021 census and found babies born in the North - classed as the regions of the North East, North West or Yorkshire and Humber - are expected to live at least one year less than the rest of England.Across the North, infant mortality was on average four in 1,000 live births, compared to three in 1,000 for London and the South East.
The North has higher rates of bad or very bad health, with 6.9% of people in the North East, 6.4% in North West, and 5.9% in Yorkshire and the Humber reporting bad or very bad health - compared to the English average of 5.3%. And the five local authorities with the highest levels of people saying a disability limits their day-to-day activities a lot are in the North: Knowsley , Liverpool , Blackpool , Manchester and Hartlepool .
