Life expectancy at birth for men in Yorkshire and The Humber has dipped below pre-pandemic levels.
According to the latest Office for National Statistics figures, a boy born in Yorkshire and The Humber between 2021 and 2023 is expected to live for 78.1 years. This is a decrease from the 78.7 years recorded for baby boys born between 2017 and 2019, prior to the coronavirus outbreak.
The life expectancy for every local authority area, town and city in Yorkshire has been listed below. This pattern is mirrored in female life expectancy, where the 10 highest estimates are all from southern England, and the lowest are distributed between Scotland, northern England, and Wales. "This suggests we are yet to see a recovery from the decrease in life expectancy we saw during the pandemic."
