Why measure life expectancy?
West Midlands Key Health Data 2011/12 Chapter 7 Measuring inequalities in small area life expectancyDaniel Eayres, Jane Fletcher, WMCSU; Paul Kingswell, NHS Warks
Longstanding and widely used measure of overall health outcome
Quantifies mortality risks in a readily understandable metric
Used in previous PSA target to reduce health inequalities between LAs
Public Health Outcomes Framework – Overarching outcomes
increased healthy life expectancy, i.e. taking account of the health quality as well as the length of life;
reduced differences in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy between communities (through greater improvements in more disadvantaged communities).

Slope Index of Inequality
West Midlands Key Health Data 2011/12 Chapter 7 Measuring inequalities in small area life expectancyDaniel Eayres, Jane Fletcher, WMCSU; Paul Kingswell, NHS Warks
Indicator 0.2i: Slope index of inequality (SII) in life expectancy at birth based on national deprivation deciles of Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) within England [National level].
Indicator 0.2ii: Number of upper tier local authorities for which the local SII in life expectancy (as defined in 0.2.iii) has decreased [National level].
Indicator 0.2iii: SII in life expectancy at birth within each English upper tier local authority, based on local deprivation deciles of LSOAs [LA level].

LE is a high profile outcome indicator that needs to be monitored by HWBs, including the assessment of within local authority inequality.
Life expectancy in the West Midlands is continuing to improve but has remained persistently below the national average for both men and women.
The range between the highest and lowest local authority districts LEs in the West Midlands is ~5 years for males and ~4 years for females.
Significant variation in LE at the ward, MSOA and LSOA deprivation deciles levels using 5-years of mortality data.
At all area levels there is a strong association between LE and deprivation. The association is stronger and the relationship steeper for males than for females.
Wide inequalities in life expectancy exist within even those local authorities that have high life expectancies overall.
SII values for WM upper-tier LAs range from 4.8 to 11.7 years for males and 2.8 to 10.3 years for females.
Measuring the change in the SII over time in individual LAs will be problematic as the confidence intervals are wide and long time periods are needed.
