Health Equity in England_The Marmot Review 10 Years On_full report.pdf

This report has been produced by the Institute of Health Equity and commissioned by the Health Foundation to mark 10 years on from the landmark study Fair Society, Healthy Lives (The Marmot Review).

 The report highlights that:

• people can expect to spend more of their lives in poor health
• improvements to life expectancy have stalled, and declined for the poorest 10% of women
• the health gap has grown between wealthy and deprived areas 
• place matters – living in a deprived area of the North East is worse for your health than living in a similarly deprived area in London, to the extent that life expectancy is nearly five years less
