An analysis from the OECD reveals that Brits now have the worst life expectancy in Western Europe at 80.9 years, trailing behind 27 EU countries averaging 81.5 years.
The report indicates a concerning decline in life expectancy since the Covid pandemic, with men losing six months and women three months, alongside rising obesity rates.
In comparison, the life expectancy across the EU increased by one year since 2022, whereas Britain's only rose by six months, indicating a troubling stagnation.
The UK's life expectancy gap between men and women has narrowed to just under four years, with women currently expected to live nearly 83 years.
