| Find out what's happened to our income, spending, saving and borrowing since 2007.  People, population and community This bulletin presents two additional measures of longevity for the first time; namely the median and modal ages at death; these alternative measures provide additional information on longevity patterns over time.
It is estimated that half of newborns in the UK could expect to still be alive at the age of 82.3 years if male and 85.8 years if female; the largest number of deaths for males are expected to occur at age 86.4 years and at age 88.9 for females, if they experience the same mortality rates as were observed in the period 2014 to 2016.
Over the past 15 years, the most common age at death (the modal age at death) for males has increased twice as fast compared with females and faster than traditional life expectancy.
The rate of improvement in life expectancy at birth in the UK during the first half of the second decade of the 21st century was 75.3% lower for males and 82.7% lower for females when compared with the first half of the first decade; therefore, improvements in life expectancy have slowed during the second decade.
Healthy life expectancy (HLE) at birth for males was 63.1 years and for females was 63.7 years in 2014 to 2016.
Females continue to live more years in good health than males, despite their HLE decreasing by 1.7 months since 2009 to 2011 and that of males increasing by 4.3 months over the same period.
HLE at birth across local areas of the UK varies by 18 years, while disability-free life expectancy (DFLE) at birth varies by 20 years. |
