Life expectancy in England fell to 79.1 years for men and 83 years for women, data from the Office for National Statistics shows.
The worst statistics were in Blackpool, where a boy born between 2021 and 2023 is expected to live an average of 73.1 years and a girl 78.9 years.

A boy born in Glasgow – which has recorded the lowest life expectancy for men since 2001 – is likely to live another 73.6 years.
In contrast, men in Hart, Hampshire have an average lifespan of 83.4 years, while women born in Kensington and Chelsea are expected to live 86.5 years.
The ONS’s Greg Ceely said the data from 2021 to 2023 “suggests we are yet to see a recovery from the decline in life expectancy during the pandemic.”
