Karen Dunnell, director of demography and health at the Office for National Statistics, said: "In the most prosperous areas it was very much lower, and in areas such as ports, coalfields, inner London and manufacturing areas it is very much higher.
In their first five years, children of teenage mothers were more than twice as likely to be admitted to hospital as a result of an accident or gastroenteritis.
Children born to teenage mothers were more likely to experience the divorce or separation of their parents and the chance that they would become a teenage mother was double that for daughters of older mothers.

 BBC News | Health | Abortions continue to rise
Karen Dunnell, editor of the new ONS publication Health Statistics Quarterly, said: "One of the things that is clear is that in 1996 the birth rate, the conception rate and the abortion rate went up.
Ms Dunnell said it was difficult to explain the figures.
She said: "I think there is a general feeling that the pill scare caused a crisis of confidence in contraception and may be one of the reasons that larger numbers of women are deciding to use abortion rather than the pill."

 Politics | The importance of being independent
For a government which makes so much of its granting of independence to the Bank of England back in 1997, today's move to set up a similar arrangement for the Office for National Statistics is long overdue - hence its welcome by the ONS, the Conservatives and the LibDems.
As the ONS chief, Karen Dunnell says, it was not that the ONS was not already operating in an open and transparent fashion, it was that it was not seen to be doing so, which was damaging to it.
For example, it could never shake off the accusation that it had defined Network Rail's debt as being off the government's balance sheet to please the government, even though its decision was in line with international statistical norms.
