- Health in Manchester is among the poorest in the country. Manchester and the surrounding areas have been notorious for their poor health since the eighteenth century. The poor physique of men in Manchester caused a national scandal when three out of every five volunteers for the Boer War were deemed unfit. For many years, the health of the people of Manchester was the worst of any local authority in England. In 2006, the life expectancy for men in Manchester was the lowest in England: 72.5 years, compared with the average of 76.9 years. The Index of Deprivation 2004 placed Manchester as the second most deprived local authority in England. The figures for the North of the city were worse than those for the South. In 2015, the health of Manchester still compared poorly to other parts of the country in many respects. An estimated 600,000 residents of Greater Manchester face extreme poverty and about 1.6 million more people are currently at risk of sliding into deeper poverty. They are thought to be isolated, scared, frustrated, and deprived of food. (en)
