Life expectancy at birth (females) (5 year average) (3336) Metric type
- Help text
- Life expectancy at birth is useful as a summary measure of all cause mortality as it quantifies the differences between areas in units (years of life) that are more readily understood and meaningful to the audience than those of other measures. All cause mortality is a fundamental and probably the oldest measure of the health status of the population. It represents the cumulative effect of the prevalence of risk factors, prevalence and severity of disease, and the effectiveness of interventions and treatment. Differences in levels of all cause mortality reflect health inequalities between different population groups e.g. between genders, social classes and ethnic groups.
