Britain's Falling Healthy Life Expectancy Is a National Scandal

Analysis from the Health Foundation reveals a devastating two-year decline in healthy life expectancy in Britain, with the UK now ranking 20th out of 21 high-income countries, just above the US. Worsening mental health among younger adults shows the sharpest deterioration, while the pandemic is not to blame. By 2028, when retirement age rises to 67, the average person will be in poor health over six years before stopping work. Huge geographical disparities exist, with London improving while Blackpool and Hartlepool see steepest declines.
