Residents in Manchester are dying younger than the rest of the UK, according to new data from the Office for National Statistics.
The study revealed that males can only expect to live until the age of 74, compared to a healthier 77.4 in the North West and a national average of 78.9.
Their female counterparts have it better with a life expectancy of 79.3 in Manchester, compared to a regional average of 81.5 and a national average of 82.9.
Professor David French, of the Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences at the University of Manchester, said the lower life expectancy can be attributed to levels of unhealthy behaviour, stress and social mobility.
