The University of East Anglia and its partners have conducted research revealing that the rise in human life expectancy has slowed down across Europe since 2011. This slowdown is attributed to factors such as the food we eat, physical inactivity, obesity, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

According to a study published in The Lancet Public Health, England experienced the largest decline in life expectancy among all the countries studied. This trend suggests that instead of living longer than previous generations, we may actually be facing shorter lifespans.

Lead researcher Prof Nick Steel emphasized the importance of prioritizing healthier lifestyles from a younger age. He noted that while advancements in public health and medicine led to continuous improvements in life expectancy throughout the 20th century, this progress has now plateaued.

The study analyzed data from the Global Burden of Disease 2021, comparing changes in life expectancy, causes of death, and population exposure to risk factors across various European countries. The findings revealed that the primary driver of reduced life expectancy improvements between 2011-2019 was deaths from cardiovascular diseases, while the COVID-19 pandemic further impacted life expectancy from 2019-2021.

Despite the slowdown in life expectancy improvements, the researchers believe that there is still room for enhancing longevity through targeted interventions. Countries with robust public health policies, such as Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark, and Belgium, demonstrated better resilience and longevity outcomes compared to those with poorer health indicators.

The research underscores the need for stronger government initiatives to address major health risks, including obesity, poor diet, and low physical activity. Prof John Newton from the University of Exeter highlighted the importance of prevention in promoting a healthier society and addressing the root causes of major illnesses.

In response to the findings, Sarah Price, NHS England National Director of Public Health, emphasized the role of prevention in combating health challenges. She highlighted the NHS’s efforts to promote weight management and blood pressure checks as key strategies for improving overall health outcomes.

The study’s results serve as a wake-up call for policymakers and healthcare providers to prioritize preventive measures and address the underlying factors contributing to declining life expectancy. By implementing effective public health initiatives and promoting healthier lifestyles, we can work towards reversing the trend of stagnating longevity in Europe.
