Glasgow no longer has lowest male life expectancy

The ONS figures also show that life expectancy at birth in 2021-23 remained lower than before the Covid-19 pandemic in a majority of areas for both males (288 of 348 local authorities, or 83%) and females (242 authorities, or 70%).

Greg Ceely, ONS head of population health monitoring, said: “Today’s data show a decline in life expectancy in most areas during 2021 to 2023, compared with the period of 2017 to 2019.

“This suggests we are yet to see a recovery from the decrease in life expectancy we saw during the pandemic.

“Our results continue to show a clear geographical divide.

“Taking Great Britain as a whole, for the first time since this time series began, Blackpool, not Glasgow, has the lowest male life expectancy. Glasgow continues to have the lowest female life expectancy.”
