Health inequalities in 2040: current and projected patterns of illness by deprivation in England

This report focuses on inequalities in major illness in England, notably among working-age people. It reveals that growing ill-health will continue to significantly impact people's lives and the economy. On current trends, 3.7 million working-age adults will be living with major illness by 2040 —up from 3 million in 2019. It warns that 80% (540,000) of this increase will be in the more deprived 50% of areas, further entrenching health inequalities and having considerable implications for local and regional economies.ReportThe Health Foundation - press release
