People in Northern Ireland were happier than those in any other part of the UK last year, a survey has suggested.

A third of people in Northern Ireland rated their life satisfaction as nine out of 10, said the Office for National Statistics.

England scored lowest for life satisfaction, while Scotland was rated the least anxious country in the UK.

It is the first time differences between UK nations have been published.

The ONS used data from the Annual Population Survey from April 2012 to March 2013 which included the responses of around 165,000 people.

Four questions to monitor personal well-being in the UK were asked:

Overall, how satisfied are you with your life nowadays?
Overall, to what extent do you feel the things you do in your life are worthwhile?
Overall, how happy did you feel yesterday?
Overall, how anxious did you feel yesterday?
People were asked to rate the questions 0-10, where 0 was "not at all" and 10 was "completely". The survey took place between April 2012 and March 2013.
