If Trafford experienced ) s r 75 a Hale Central e y the same self-reported health and mortality rates that were ( Bowdon Hale Barns cy n Timperley a 70 ct Ashton upon Mersey observed during 2014-16, females can expect to live 66.2 years in Brooklands pe Altrincham x Davyhulme East Broadheath F e Priory e e Village ma f i good health (79.1% of their life) and males 62.7 years in 'Good' l 65 Flixton Davyhulme West Sale Moor y l e h t Urmston Stretford St Mary's l a Longford health (78.4% of their life). This suggests that on average women e H Gorse Hill 60 can expect 17.5 years of living in 'Not good' health and men 17.3 Bucklow­St Martins years. 55 Clifford Data from 2009-13 suggests that there is significant ward 75 Hale Central variation in the number of years people can be expected to spend Bowdon Hale Barns 70 Timperley Brooklands in 'good' health. For example, females living in Hale Central can Broadheath Ashton upon Mersey Altrincham M Flixton Priory a 65 l Davyhulme East Davyhulme West e expect to spend 73.9 years in 'good' health whilst those living in St Mary's Urmston Village Sale Moor Stretford 60 Clifford can only expect 55.7 years. This represents a high level of Gorse Hill Longford inequality in health life expectancy of 18.2 years.
