THE SEGMENT TOOL
SEGMENTING LIFE EXPECTANCY GAPS BY CAUSE OF DEATH
Updated January 2015
Key results for Wealden (E07000065)
Introduction
This tool has been developed by Public Health England's (PHE) Knowledge and Intelligence Teams (London and East Midlands) and provides information on the causes of death that are driving
inequalities in life expectancy at local area level. Targeting the causes of death which contribute most to the life expectancy gap should have the biggest impact on reducing inequalities.
The tool provides data tables and charts showing the breakdown of the life expectancy gap in 2010-12 for two comparisons:
1. The gap between the Local Authority as a whole and England as a whole. This option is only available if the selected area has a lower life expectancy than England.
2. The gap between the most deprived quintile of the selected Local Authority and the least deprived quintile of the Local Authority. This option is available for all areas.
This document presents key results for Wealden. The tool, along with a user guide and technical document, can be downloaded from
http://www.lho.org.uk/LHO_Topics/Analytic_Tools/Segment/TheSegmentTool.aspx
Interpreting the charts
Two types of chart are included below.
The scarf charts show, for each broad cause of death, the percentage contribution that it makes to the overall life expectancy gap between the areas selected. This could be between the local
authority as a whole and England, or between the most deprived quintile of the local authority and the least deprived quintile of the local authority, depending on which comparison has been
selected. If a cause shows a contribution of 0, this means that the cause of death does not make any contribution to the life expectancy gap.
The bar charts show, for a more detailed breakdown of causes of death, the years of life expectancy that would be gained or lost in the selected area, if it had the same mortality rates as the
comparator area.
The tables show the percentage contributions and years of life gained for each cause of death. The number of deaths occurring in the area in 2010-12 are shown, and alongside, the number
of excess deaths. Excess deaths are the number of 'extra' deaths that occur in the selected area because it has a higher mortality rate for that cause of death than the comparator area. If
these deaths were prevented, then the contribution of that cause of death to the overall life expectancy gap would be eliminated. For some causes of death, there are no excess deaths in the
selected area, and therefore no impact is made to the life expectancy gap. If this is the case the table shows a value of "..".

* A positive figure indicates that life expectancy years would be gained if the most deprived quintile of the local authority had the same mortality rate as the least deprived quintile (ie the
mortality rate in the most deprived quintile for the cause is higher than that of the least deprived quintile). A negative figure indicates that life expectancy years would be lost if the most
deprived quintile in the local authority had the same mortality rate as the least deprived quintile.
