[dropcap1]W[/dropcap1]hat matters most to most people, more than any other topic, is health. Often those who are healthy do not realise the importance of good health until they lose it, and everyone eventually loses it. However, the extent to which different people in different parts of London have different chances of falling ill varies very widely and mirrors many of the other patterns shown in this on-line atlas. The most basic of health measure include many measure of how likely we are to die ranging from infant mortality through to the life expectancy of the elderly. There are a huge number of routinely released health statistics issued by official bodies including the National Health Service which we use in our maps.
