Population
Life expectancy
Across Norfolk the average life expectancy is about 80 years for men and about 84 years for women.[7] The average number of years a man or a woman can expect to live in good health is about 63.[8,9] For those who were 65 years old the life expectancy is estimated to be just over a further 19 years for males[10] and almost 22 years for females.[11] South Norfolk has the highest life expectancy with Great Yarmouth the lowest.
Deprivation and poverty influence the health and wellbeing of the population. The life expectancy gap between the most deprived areas of Norfolk and the least deprived areas is 7.0 years for men[12] and 4.5 years for women.[13] Along with deprivation other influences on life expectancy include socio-economic factors (income, education, housing), gender, the environment (air pollution, access to green space, where we live) as well as health lifestyle behaviours (smoking, alcohol, nutrition, physical activity, stress).
