A new interactive map from the Daily Mail allows readers to see how many years they’ll spend in good health, according to where they live.<\/span><\/p>\n Unlike lifespan, which simply measures how long someone is likely to live, healthy life expectancy refers to the average number of years a person can expect to live in good health\u00a0\u2014 without chronic illness, disability or cognitive decline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n And according to new statistics, it can be measured simply by looking at someone’s postcode.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Figures show\u00a0those living in the most deprived areas die almost ten years earlier than those living in more affluent postcodes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Girls born in Kensington and Chelsea, one of London<\/a>‘s most affluent boroughs, between 2022 and 2024 are expected to live until they are 87, according to the Office of National Statistics<\/a>\u00a0(ONS).\u00a0<\/p>\n But it’s not just that they’re living longer. These girls are expected to spend nearly 80 per cent of their life in good health, whilst those in the most deprived areas will only get 48 healthy years.\u00a0<\/p>\n Longevity for boys is highest in Hart, meanwhile, where they are expected to reach just shy of 84.<\/p>\n On the other end of the scale, boys in Blackpool are predicted to only reach their 73rd birthday, while girls in Glasgow<\/a> are only expected to live until 78.<\/p>\n
