Summary
A joint paper by Public Health Wales and Cardiff University has identified a worrying trend of depreciating health inequalities between Wales’ most and least deprived areas. This blog outlines the key findings of the paper, including how the gap in life expectancy increased amongst both men and women between 2002 and 2020. This was primarily caused by large drops in life expectancy in Wales’ most deprived areas, including a sharp decline for women between 2018 and 2020.
