7.7.2 Life Expectancy at Birth in Hull Wards
In 2006, the Office for National Statistics published experimental life expectancy at birth
estimates for each ward in England and Wales (Office for National Statistics 2006), but
the information was relatively old as life expectancy estimates were produced for the
period 1999-2003. It is necessary to calculate life expectancy based on a number of
years‟ data at ward level owing to the variability associated with the year on year
number of deaths. However, ONS have not updated this information and it is relatively
old now. It is possible to calculate life expectancy using the local Public Health Mortality
File and the estimates of resident population from the GP registration file. The life
expectancy estimate for Hull overall calculated in this way will differ slightly from those
produced nationally by ONS due to slight differences in the population used (see Table
11 and Table 15). Life expectancy at birth calculated at ward level is also available on
the Hull Atlas (www.hullpublichealth.org).
Male and female life expectancy calculated using local data (Public Health Mortality File
and GP registration file for resident population estimates) is given in Figure 48 and Figure
49 respectively (with 95% confidence intervals). The data underlying these figures are
given in the APPENDIX on page 839. For men, life expectancy estimates differ by up to
10.0 years across the wards ranging from 71.0 years in St Andrews to 81.0 years in
Beverley ward. For women, the differences are slightly larger at 10.2 years, with St
Andrews having the lowest female life expectancy of 74.2 years and Bricknell having the
highest female life expectancy of 84.4 years. This compares with the maximum difference
in life expectancy among wards in 2006-2008 of 10.7 years for men and 9.7 years for
women, so a reduction in the gap for men and a small increase for women in 2007-2009.
