Graduated life tables which give statistics on national life expectancy for England and Wales. Published once every ten years.
Trends for England and Wales (national, regional and local areas) in the average number of years people will live beyond their current age measured by "period life expectancy".
Trends in the average number of years people will live beyond their current age measured by period life expectancy, analysed by age and sex for the UK and its constituent countries.
Trends for the UK (national, regional and local areas) in the average number of years people will live beyond their current age measured by "period life expectancy".
Using 2011 Census data, this analysis is the first to calculate disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) by the newly established NHS clinical commissioning groups (CCGs). DFLE indicates the number of years an individual might expect to spend free from a limiting disability or health problem in his or her lifetime. Results show that females and those living in the north of England spend more of their life with a disability, compared with males and those living in the south of England.
This is the first analysis to examine differences in healthy life expectancy (HLE) and how these compare across England. HLE adds value to life expectancy (LE) by estimating the average lifespan spent in a favourable state of health, based on self-assessed general health. The areas with the highest HLE were clustered to the south and west of London, whereas the areas with the lowest HLE were found in the North, the Midlands and some ethnically diverse parts of East London.
Life expectancy (ex), probability of dying (qx) and numbers surviving (lx) from the period and cohort life tables, past and projected, UK constituent countries.
