New figures, revealed by the National Records of Scotland (NRS), show women and men in the area have a healthy life expectancy below the national average, and substantially below those living in affluent communities.
Women in Renfrewshire can expect to live 56.5 years in good health-amongst the lowest rates in the country; for men in the region, the average is 56.1 years.
The figure jumps to 72.1 for women and 70.4 for men in Orkney-the area with the highest healthy life expectancy in Scotland. The Scottish average is 59.6 years for men and 60 for women.
