ONS Figures just released show:
A newborn baby boy could expect to live 79.2 years and a newborn baby girl 82.9 years if mortality rates remain the same as they were in the UK in 2013 to 2015 throughout their lives.
Life expectancy for the UK is higher in 2013 to 2015 compared to 2009 to 2011 but the proportion of life spent in good health is falling, due to the improvement in life expectancy exceeding that of healthy life expectancy.
The provisional number of deaths registered in England and Wales in the week ending 18 November 2016 (week 46) was 10,694. This represents an increase of 224 deaths registered in comparison with the previous week (week 45).
The average number of deaths for the corresponding week over the previous 5 years was 9,751.
In 2015, over half (53%) of all live births in England and Wales were to mothers aged 30 and over and two-thirds (68%) of fathers were aged 30 and over.
The average age of all fathers increased to 33.2 years in 2015, compared with 33.1 years in 2014. For mothers the average age was 30.3 years compared with 30.2 years in 2014.
The average age of first-time mothers was 28.6 years in 2015, compared with 28.5 years in 2014.
