 The report looks at health across the east |
A new atlas, which maps the health of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, has revealed significant differences in life expectancy across the region. The map shows that on average, men in south Cambridgeshire are living to 79, five years longer than men in Great Yarmouth, Peterborough and the Fens. The report also found that 60% of people in West Norfolk are clinically overweight - the highest rate in East Anglia. The health atlas has been compiled by the Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire Strategic Health Authority (SHA). The report also reveals: The rate of heart disease and strokes in North Peterborough is two and a half times the rate in South Cambridgeshire Men in Norwich have high levels of lung cancer Breast cancer deaths before the age of 64 are highest in North Norfolk Great Yarmouth has the highest male mortality from road and other accidents
