Is your neighborhood a premature hotspot in death? Interactive map reveals the areas of England and Wales where men are most likely to die

Dozens of areas of England and Wales are marked today as premature hotspots from Death.

Blackpool South has the highest premature death rate, according to MailOnline analysis. For every 100,000 men who lived there, almost 730 died last year before he turned 75.

Although that percentage seems small, it is 3.4 times higher than in North East Hampshire (214.3 per 100,000) – the area of ​​the country where men have the best opportunities to avoid an early grave.

Professor Karol Sikora, an oncologist with 40 years of experience who once advised ministers and acted as the cancer chef of the World Health Organization, described the percentage in Blackpool South as ‘terrible’.

He added: “Everything above 500 is bad news.”

Nevertheless, government figures 76 out of 575 parliamentary constituencies – or one in eight – suggest that percentage exceed.

All percentages are standardized by age, which means that they take into account the age distribution of different areas, this is because comparing two populations with different age structures is not fair.

Professor Sikora said: ‘These scores reflect poverty.

‘People with less money have less education, and they tend to have more unhealthy lifestyle, from everything to smoking, alcohol, obesity, everything you can imagine, lack of exercise, bad diets, poor housing conditions.

‘All this leads to illness, and that leads to earlier mortality.

“It will certainly get worse without major policy changes.”

Professor Sikora, however, points out that not all communities with the same results are confronted.

He said: “There are some exceptions. I mean, it’s great. For example, the South Asian population in Slough live remarkably long, and they are doing remarkably well, and they are usually not obese. So it’s not just poverty, it’s a whole series of things around it. ‘

The original mortality rates, held by the Office for National Statistics (us), were a clear North-Zoby Gorge.

Of the 20 constituents with the worst premature death rates, 13 of them were in the north and three in the midlands.

For comparison, 16 out of 20 areas with the lowest figures in the south were.

Middleborough and Thornaby East (685.8) and Leeds South (670.4) came behind Blackpool South.

Premature deaths can be done due to diseases such as cancer, heart conditions, injuries, violence and even suicide.

Although Professor Sikora explains that the most important motivation of premature mortality is, he says that a secondary factor is access to health care.

He said: ‘We have a free system, the NHS. But we know that poorer people have access to it differently than richer people, even if it is free.

“So it’s not so much wealth. It is education. The better trained people can use a complex system more effectively than people who have no education.

Blackpool South has the highest premature death rate. For every 100,000 men who lived there, almost 730 died last year before he turned 75, which is 3.4 times higher than in the lowest area

“They just know how to become aggressive, because becoming aggressive does not help, but how to insist on what they want in a calm way and therefore access to health care.”

Professor Sikora also points out that the best specialists and the best general practitioners often choose to live in the most desired areas, not in disadvantaged areas.

The us data, which defines a premature death as something for 75, does not include Scotland or Noord -Ireland.

The analysis comes after a study last year concluded that one in four premature deaths will be due to cancer between 2023 and 2050.

This amounts to around 50,000 a year, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

It warned that the “current trajectory of the cancer costs is not sustainable.”

Professor Sikora says that cancer deaths often follow the same pattern as other deaths, with lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, obesity, lack of exercise, poor quality, diet, all risks.

He also said that poorer people have less chance of treatment because they do not go for screening, do not have mammograms and do not show up for tests when they are asked.

Karol Sikora, 76, is a world -famous doctor who specializes in oncology, who is described as a leading world authority for cancer

‘They often just don’t go to the hospital, or if they do that, they go when it is late. They don’t have the money to get to public transport and get there. So they just skip the hospital appointments and so on, “he said.

Peter Matejic, chief analyst in the Fighting Charity Joseph Rowntree Foundation poverty, said: ‘It is heartbreaking that some areas have such high percentages of prematurely deaths.

‘We have known that there have been connections between poverty and poorer health results for decades, and as a nation that is a gap, we must limit.

‘Many factors in your entire life can lead to premature dying, but your economic situation influences your health in every phase, of what you eat as a child to see if you can afford your essentials as an adult.

“The health of the nation needs a real focus from the government, but this is not just about the NHS – it is about whether people are able to lead a healthy life with dignity and hope.”
