Мужчинам в части Бирмингема прогнозируют здоровую жизнь всего до 53 лет из-за бедности

Men in a part of Birmingham are only expected to live healthy lives until the age of 53. It's a shocking statistic as for many people, 53 is considered middle aged and a time when they can still keep themselves fit and active. But that's not the case everywhere, a new study showed looking areas with lowest healthy life expectancies.

Men in Druids Heath only have a healthy life expectancy of 53. For women it's 55.4. This is the lowest rate for men in Birmingham and one of the lowest in the country. Check your area on the interactive map below. ‌ Other low rates include Sparkbrook North (53.7 for both men and women) and Lozells West (54.1 for men and 53.7 for women). Lower healthy age expectancy rates tend to be in the bigger towns and cities. This is where lifestyles are likely to be poorer and the general standard of living lower. ‌ Healthily lifestyles are directly linked to deprivation and poverty. Poorer families are less likely to be able to put nutritious meals on the table, while there may also be issues with alcohol and drugs. The Central Stockton & Portrack area of Stockton-on-Tees in the north east has the lowest healthy life expectancy in the country. Men born in the area can expect just 47.7 years of good health. ‌ There are 10 areas in England and Wales where men will have fewer than 50 years of good health - and all but two of them are in the north. The north is also home to half of the 1,400 neighbourhoods where healthy life expectancy is less than 60. A report by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) found that poverty is the biggest driver in the gaps in healthy life expectancy. A report by JRF found that a female living in the least deprived areas of the country will spend 82% of their life in good health. ‌ That drops to just 65% in the most deprived areas, equating to 20 fewer years of life in good health. For males the gap is 19 years, with men in the least deprived areas spending 85% of their lives in good health compared to 70% in the most deprived areas. Scot Hunter, analyst at the JRF, said: "It isn’t right that where you live impacts how long you can expect to live in good health. "It’s striking but not surprising that people who spend more of their life in poor health are more likely to live in places that lost key industries: like manufacturing and mining towns as well as seaside towns and inner-city neighbourhoods. ‌ "We know that as well as struggling economically, many of these areas have lost the community groups, places and activities that brought people together. "Compared to similar places that still have their community centres, youth clubs and sports halls, people in these doubly disadvantaged areas are more likely to be living in poor health."
