As usual with life expectancy figures it is the male that bring it down, lagging about 7 years behind females.
The average life expectancy is 76yo in the south west of England, that is the highest in the UK.
The north of England fare a lot less.

I don't doubt the sauce of your info, I just find it hard to believe.
When you look at the pollution over there, it amazes me people reach the age of 50yo when living in the big cities like Manila.

I'm looking at the average Joe, not just office workers who are more than likely going to live longer than the tricycle rider.

Then you look at the health care compared with the UK. You can't compare it.
