The most basic way of measuring the health of a community is to look at when and how
people die. Life expectancy shows the average age a child born today in an area could
expect to live assuming that people are dying at the same rate and ages that we find today. It
is affected by the number of people dying and the age at which they die.
As shown in figure 8, over the past fifteen years there has been a steady improvement in life
expectancy for men and women living in Copeland. The latest figure for female life
expectancy is of concern. This shows a decrease over the previous years’ steady
improvement. Life expectancy for both males and females continues to be below the national
average.
