Dundee has maintained its unenviable reputation for having one of the lowest life expectancies of any local authority in the UK.
The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) come only a few weeks before the city will welcome competitors in the shooting events at the Commonwealth Games.
Any legacy the organisers hope to leave behind will have to struggle against the wide range of socio-economic and health problems that continue to make it difficult for the authorities to help residents improve their wellbeing.
Boys born during 2010-12 can expect to live for 74.3 years on average, the fifth lowest lifespan of any UK local authority and below the Scottish average of 76.6 years.
This is the fifth time in a row Dundee has been in the bottom 10 in this survey.
Men who reached the age of 65 during that time can expect to live another 16.2 years, which is the sixth lowest figure in the UK and also compares poorly to the Scottish average of 17.1 years.
Girls who were born in Dundee during 2010-12 can expect to live for 79.3 years, the fourth lowest lifespan among UK local authorities. The Scottish average is 80.8 years.
Women who reached 65 during those years can expect to live for another 19.1 years.
That is a little down on the Scottish average of 19.5 years, but is good enough not to be in the bottom 10 UK local authorities.
Scotland did poorly overall, with more than two-thirds of its local authorities having life expectancies in the bottom fifth of the list. No Scottish local authority made it into the top fifth.
The ONS report said factors that could be responsible for lower life expectancy, included socio-economic conditions, environment, education and lifestyle.
