'The differences in life expectancy between the sexes have narrowed across Britain, according to the latest longevity data from the Office for National Statistics, which show men are closing the gap with traditionally longer-living women.

The average woman born in 2006 is likely to live 2.7 years longer than one born in 1992 while men can expect to live 3.8 years longer.'
