Over two decades, the average life expectancy for Saskatchewan residents has slightly decreased, bucking national trends.
The national average also dropped over the same 2017-2021 period, but the decrease was less dramatic — with an average national life expectancy of 81.90 in 2017 falling to 81.63 in 2021.These are projections, and Statistics Canada says “2019 to 2021 data are considered preliminary due to improvements in methodology and timeliness which shortened the duration of data collection.”
“Take a cohort, take a group of newborns and assume that through their lives, these newborns will be exposed to the mortality rates by age that were computed in 2021,” he said. “If they were to be exposed to those mortality rates that we saw in 2021, that’s how long they will live on average.” Life expectancy has been increasing in Canada for the last century, Dion said, but recently, “a few things have happened.”
“Within this category, there’s also fatal overdoses and there’s falls as well,” said Dion. It also includes “anything related to overdoses due to opioids.”
