Blackpool has replaced Glasgow as the area where men have the lowest life expectancy in Britain.
Average life expectancy was shorter across Britain in the two years to 2023, with children born in deprived areas expected to die up to 13 years earlier.
Life expectancy in England fell to 79.1 years for men and 83 years for women, data from the Office for National Statistics shows.
The worst statistics were in Blackpool, where a boy born between 2021 and 2023 was expected to live an average of 73.1 years and a girl 78.9 years.
A child born in Glasgow, which has recorded the lowest male life expectancy since 2001, will likely live to be 73.6 years.
