Where do people live longest in the UK - and where has life expectancy actually gone down? The latest data is out from the ONS. Click on the map to see how each local authority compares - and use the dropdown to see the figures for women and change.

Some key data:
• Life expectancy was highest in Kensington and Chelsea and lowest in Glasgow City
• At age 65 the average increase in local areas was one year for men and 0.9 years for women
• The gap between the local areas with the highest and lowest life expectancies increased between 2004–06 and 2008–10
