Health divides: where we live can kill us. Americans live 3 years less than their counterparts in France and Sweden. Scottish men survive 2 years less than English men. Across Europe, women in the poorest communities may live 10 years less than those in the richest. People who live just a few miles apart can have gaps in life expectancy of up to 25 years. Laurie Taylor talks to Clara Bambra, Professor of Public Health Geography at Durham University, whose research draws on international case studies to examine the cause of these health inequalities. First broadcast on Thinking Allowed, 30 January 2017.
