Healthy life expectancy in the UK depends on where you live: Report says 英国人的健康预期寿命取决于其居住地

据英国国家统计局最新发表的数字显示，在英格兰和威尔士的部分地区，人们的身体健康水平从47岁就开始走下坡路。另外，对某些地区的分析结果显示，造成健康预期寿命不均等的因素包括人们的居住地。

A baby girl born in part of Middlesbrough in the North East of England can expect to have 35 fewer years of good health than a similar girl born in a rich part of Guildford in Surrey - just 48 years compared to 83. The inequality is startling – and it's a similar story for males: a baby boy born in a deprived district of Blackpool can expect just 47 years of healthy life, while in Knightsbridge in London it's 79.

These figures come just a week after official data showed that after decades of improvement, healthy life expectancy and overall life expectancy for baby girls in the poorest ten per cent of English and Welsh households is now falling.

The problem emerges as worst in places like Stockton-on-Tees and Stoke-on-Trent, where life expectancy's fallen more than nine months in the last three years. For men, the falls have been greatest in Southend-on-Sea, Walsall and the Isle of Wight. The reasons for the falls is unclear but rising obesity rates and cuts to public spending have both been blamed.

一名出生于英格兰东北部米德尔斯堡的女婴和一名出生于萨里郡吉尔福德的女婴相比，前者“较为健康地生活”时间要比后者少35年，也就是说，前者可以健康地生活48年，而后者为83年。这个地区不均等的数字是惊人的，对于男性的分析预测结果相似：一名出生于贫困地区，布莱克浦的男孩可以健康地生活47年，而对出生于伦敦骑士桥区域的男孩来说，这个数字则是79。
