> That equates to about 2 weeks loss of life per person. Doesn't sound like there's a problem with avoidable illness based on that metric.
You're right, so I think that must mean across a random group of public - healthy or not. This is evident from another earlier statement:
// When it published its report in 2010, the Marmot Review, Fair Society Healthy Lives identified striking levels of health inequalities across the country, including that people in the poorest neighbourhoods in England would on average die seven years earlier and spend more of their life living with a disability.244 //
and from
http://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2009-03-18-moderate-obesity-takes-years-life-expec...
//The Oxford University research found that moderate obesity, which is now common, reduces life expectancy by about 3 years, and that severe obesity, which is still uncommon, can shorten a person’s life by 10 years. //
In all events, our current concern is cv19 - when coronavirus finds it's target we might easily see a decade or more chopped off a victim's life
