Product Description
Trends in period life expectancy, a measure of the average number of years people will live beyond their current age, analysed by age and sex for England and Wales.
National life tables are period life tables and are based on three consecutive years of data. Data in this bulletin are based on 2022, 2023 and 2024. This reduces the effect of annual fluctuations in the number of deaths caused by either the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, or more commonly, by seasonal events, such as influenza.
Life expectancy is determined by changes in mortality rates across the lifespan. If mortality rates improve, average life expectancy will increase. The National life tables are period life tables that reflect current mortality rates at each age. They do not give a true estimate of how long someone can expect to live on average, as this will be affected by improving or worsening mortality in the future.
