New research has revealed the life expectancy for those living across the different postcode areas in Scotland.
According to research by Health Equals, there is a huge seven years difference on average when it comes to life expectancy across areas of Scotland. Based on ONS data from babies born this year, the researchers were able to analyse the areas with the highest life expectancy not just across Scotland but the entire UK.
The lowest life expectancy in Scotland was those living in 24 postcode areas across Glasgow, with an average life expectancy of 76. On the other end of the scale are areas of the Scottish Borders, with those living in a TD5 or TD12 postcode area expected to live until 83 on average.
With all 462 Scottish postcodes analysed in the data, everyone across the country can now find out and compare their life expectancy.

The highest life expectancy was found in London's SW7 postcode - which is home to Harrods - as well as the EC3B postcode in the city of London. Babies born in these areas live to 91 years old on average.
There is a huge 18-year gap between the highest and lowest expectancy, with Blackpool's FY1 postcode area having a life expectancy of just 73.
