This is a list of Canadian provinces and territories by life expectancy. The country is administratively divided into 10 provinces and 3 territories. Life expectancy is the average number of years of age that a group of infants born in the same year can expect to live, if maintained, from birth. The source is from the Canadian Vital Statistics Death Database.[1]
Life expectancy has increased in most Canadian provinces and territories due to medical advances in treating diseases such as heart disease and cancer - leading causes of death elsewhere worldwide. There were high gains in life expectancy in Nunavut due to improved rural health care; however, there were notable decreases in life expectancy in Newfoundland and Labrador.
According to estimation of Statistics Canada, in 2023 life expectancy in the country was 81.70 years (79.51 for male, 83.89 for female).[1] This is still half a year less than in the pre-COVID 2019.
According to estimation of the United Nations, in 2023 life expectancy in Canada was 82.63 years (80.43 for male, 84.83 for female).[2]
