I would say poor diet, smoking/vaping and lack of exercise has more to do with it.

I think diet (processed food) is a huge factor.

Another factor is the poor state of the NHS.

How many years of Tory rule have we just emerged from?
Could that have been a factor?

The U.K. has now fallen to number 20 out of 21 countries. Healthy life expectancy has fallen to 60.7 years for men and 60.9 years for women.

The decline of our health is so significant that in more than 90% of us, start suffering from serious illness before we reach pension age.

The findings help explain why 2.8 m people are too sick to work, and deaths are rising in the 25-49 age group,.

Inequalities is health are deep and widening .

We only fall above the USA in health stakes - what an embarrassment.

Health Foundation think tank.
