1. Discuss the kinds of explanation for these observed variations in life
expectancy
Within the UK there are marked differences by occupational class, sex, region, and
ethnicity, in life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and incidence of and survival from a range
of diseases. It is analyzed that male have less life expectancy than the female. They also have
healthier life than female. This is result from national level survey and their data system which is
used to identify differences between male and female on the basis of their mortality rates. Mainly
this difference has estimated on the basis of epidemiological, social circumstances and behaviors
of the people within a community and society. In most of the country of UK male life expectancy
is more than female life expectancy. But in the very past this was not the actual scenario. At
present behind the reason of less life expectancy of women than men are the difference of
instruments that are needed to be used in daily life. Most of the time men are tend to have more
cardiovascular diseases. On the contrast women face inflammatory-related diseases (Peck et al.
2017).
