  • Table: 17-10-0160-01
    Geography: Canada, Geographical region of Canada, Province or territory
    Frequency: Occasional
    Description: Estimates of life expectancy at birth are provided at the national level (by sex), at the province or regional level, and based on residence within or outside of a census metropolitan area (CMA) for a series of three five-year reference periods beginning in 2006-2011.

    Description: This electronic publication contains estimates of life expectancy at birth by Indigenous identity based on data from the 2006, 2011, and 2016 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts (CanCHECs). Estimates are provided at the national level (by sex), at the province or regional level, and depending on whether the place of residence is located in a census metropolitan area (CMA) or outside a CMA, for a series of three five-year reference periods beginning in 2006-2011.

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X202500200001
    Description: Studies have shown that excess all-cause mortality during the COVID-19 pandemic caused declines of life expectancy at birth (LE0) in most countries around the world, after decades of improvement prior to the pandemic. However, those studies rarely examined the contributions from specific causes of death other than COVID-19. This study aimed to quantify the changes from 2019 to each year during the pandemic and the contributions from COVID-19, unregulated drug toxicity, and other causes of death in British Columbia, Canada.

  • Table: 13-10-0114-01
    Geography: Canada, Province or territory
    Frequency: Annual
    Description: This table contains mortality indicators by sex for Canada and all provinces except Prince Edward Island. These indicators are derived from three-year complete life tables. Mortality indicators derived from single-year life tables are also available (table 13-10-0837). For Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, mortality indicators derived from three-year abridged life tables are available (table 13-10-0140).

    Frequency: Annual
    Description: This table contains mortality indicators by sex for Prince Edward Island and the territories. These indicators are derived from three-year abridged life tables. For Canada as a whole and for all provinces except Prince Edward Island, mortality indicators are computed from three-year complete life tables (table 13-10-0114) and single-year complete life tables (table 13-10-0837).

  • Table: 84-537-X
    Description: This electronic publication contains life tables comprising life expectancy and related estimates by age and sex for Canada, the provinces and territories. Detailed estimates (by single year of age) have been produced for Canada and all of the provinces, except Prince Edward Island, based on two types of complete life tables: three-year estimates (for periods of consecutive three years) and single-year estimates. Aggregated estimates (by five-year age group) have been produced for Prince Edward Island and the three territories separately based on abridged life tables (three-year estimates).

    Description: This table contains mortality indicators by sex for Canada and all provinces except Prince Edward Island. These indicators are derived from the single-year complete life tables. Mortality indicators derived from three-year life tables are also available (table 13-10-0114). For Prince Edward Island, Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, the population sizes are too small to allow the calculation of single-years life tables with sufficient accuracy, but mortality indicators derived from three-year abridged life tables are available (table 13-10-0140).

  • Articles and reports: 82-003-X202400800001
    Description: An extensive literature shows wide variations in life expectancy (LE) across various subnational geographic areas. However, little is known about these variations across very small levels of geographic disaggregation in Canada. This study expands the boundaries for such analyses by focusing on metropolitan areas, allowing an examination of small area variations in LE that cannot be ascribed to provincial or federal-level health, social, and other policies and programs, as more than one metropolitan area per province can be studied.

    Geography: Canada, Geographical region of Canada, Province or territory
    Frequency: Annual
    Description: Number of premature and potentially avoidable deaths and premature and potentially avoidable age-standardized mortality rate, by sex, on an annual basis. Premature deaths are those of individuals who are younger than age 75. Avoidable mortality is defined as "untimely deaths that should not occur in the presence of timely and effective health care, including prevention". These data are available at the Canada, Province or territory level.

  • Articles and reports: 91F0015M2021002
    Description:

    This study seeks to measure the reduction in life expectancy at birth as a direct result of the COVID-19 pandemic, both nationally and in affected provinces. In Canada, deaths attributed to COVID-19 contribute to a projected reduction in life expectancy at birth of 0.41 years in 2020. Estimates of life expectancy in 2020, which will be available at a later date, will show both the direct and indirect effects of the pandemic.

    Frequency: Occasional
    Description:

    Life expectancy is the number of years a person would be expected to live, starting from birth (for life expectancy at birth) or at age 65 (for life expectancy at age 65), on the basis of the mortality statistics for a given observation period. Life expectancy is a widely used indicator of the health of a population. Life expectancy measures quantity rather than quality of life.

    Description:

    Life expectancy at birth is decomposed by selected causes of death, including certain types of cancers, infectious diseases, circulatory diseases, respiratory diseases, and external causes. External causes include drug poisoning deaths, falls and transportation accidents. Changes in mortality rates for a given cause of death change over time and contribute to the overall change in life expectancy.

    Description:

    This study uses the 1996 and 2011 Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohorts (CanCHECs), with a five-year mortality follow-up, to estimate the life expectancy (LE) of the household population. It also incorporates information from two national health surveys to estimate health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE). The objectives of this study are to examine LE, HALE and disparities in LE and HALE in the 1996 and 2011 cohorts at ages 25 and 65 for men and women, according to highest level of educational attainment and household income quintile; to examine these disparities according to the combination of education and income in the 2011 cohort; and to examine how education- and income-related disparities in LE and HALE changed over time.

    Description:

    In Canada, estimating the life expectancy of Indigenous populations is methodologically challenging since death registrations do not usually collect information on whether the deceased was Indigenous. For the first time in Canada, a series of census-mortality linked datasets has been created that can be used to estimate trends in life expectancies among Indigenous household populations enumerated by a census. The objectives of this article are to 1) estimate life expectancy for First Nations people, Métis and Inuit at various ages and by sex for 2011, and compare it with that of the non-Indigenous population 2) examine trends in longevity since 1996 for First Nations people, Métis and Inuit and the non-Indigenous population, and estimate whether the disparity between Indigenous populations and the non-Indigenous population has changed over time. In doing so, this study aims to fill an important information gap by providing a national picture of the life expectancy of First Nations people, Métis and Inuit.
