More fuel for the north/south fire!

According to recent data, northern folk have a lower life expectancy, higher rate of heart disease and smoking related illness.
Men in the south live 5 years longer by average and women down south 2 years longer than their northern counterparts.

Life expectancy is closely related to lifestyle, but other social factors come into it like housing standards, poverty, environment, etc.

You'll find that the lowest life expectancy will be in the economically deprived areas, like "former mining towns", places where large employers like steel-works have closed and not been replaced.

The industrial revolution started in the north and that's where most of the heavy industry, cotton mills, etc were. No surprise then that most of the economically deprived areas are in the north and so life expectancy is lower.



None of the above explains why northern folk are the best in the world, though

Did you see the relationship with smoking? All north over average, all south apart from London below average. I HATE smoking, and they all deserve to die earlier if they smoke.

Fact.
