  1. 🗞️ 🗞️ CPC-CG Director Prof Jane Falkingham spoke with The Telegraph about the closing gap between men's and women's #longevity following newly published #ONS data on UK #lifeexpectancy :

    “Women are adopting male #healthrisk behaviours, so it’s partly because men’s life expectancy is improving, but also because women’s isn’t going up as fast. Women were just so far ahead, it’s important to remember that these increases [for men] are from a very low baseline.”

  6. We don't know how long we could live in the future, but we do see that (in the West) gains in life expectancy are decelerating, with most of the gains in the periphery.
    At first, I didn't get why the data analysis for a paper in 2026 stopped at 2019. The reason is, obviously, COVID. That was (and to some extent is) a pre-trend on the long-term trend, and the authors straight up say they aren't sure how it affects things going forwards.

  13. UK Health Lag Worsens: Healthy Years Shrink

    Healthy life years in UK areas with the most poverty are now about 20 years less than in rich areas. This means people get sick earlier and may not get pensions. Read why this is happening.

  18. RE: halo.nu/@theguardian_world_new

    I wonder why they dismiss Covid as a cause, given that the dip starts in 2020? The article doesn’t give the reason as to why they say that Covid isn’t behind it.
