Illustrating health inequalities in Glasgow
Statistics from Altmetric.com
The stark health inequalities in Glasgow are demonstrated by the drop in life expectancy of 2.0 years for men and 1.2 years for women for each station on the railway line between Jordanhill and Bridgeton (more than double the equivalent inequality along London's Jubilee underground line from Westminster to Canning Town) (Figure 1).
