There are stark differences across the country, including in Bristol.

A few weeks ago it was reported that life expectancy had fallen for men in the UK, a rare occurrence which was attributed to the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Nationally, men living in the South Promenade and Seasiders Way neighbourhood in Blackpool have the shortest life expectancy in the whole of England, at just 64.7 years.

In South Kensington in London, men can expect to live 95.4 years - three decades longer.

The shortest life expectancy for women is in Queensgate, Lancashire, at 73.5 years.

In contrast, those living in Monkspath South in Solihull can expect to reach the ripe old age of 98.3 years - nearly 25 years longer.
