[ZD26] Life expectancy at birth
Key message
Life expectancy at birth in Slovenia is gradually increasing for both men and women. It is slightly higher for women than for men. Longer life expectancy at birth is recorded in western Slovenia. In 2021, life expectancy at birth was 83.8 years for women and 77.7 years for men, with an average of 80.7 years in Slovenia compared to 80.1 years in the EU. Although life expectancy is increasing, indicating a positive trend in the data set, environmental factors such as air and water quality, and exposure to pollutants, play a significant role in public health, but these influences are not directly reflected in the life expectancy trend alone.
