Life expectancy indicates the average number of years a person is anticipated to live if current death rates remain unchanged.

The next graph presents life expectancy at birth and at age 65 for everyone and separately by gender.

The next graph presents life expectancy at each year of age for everyone and separately by gender.

The indicator of healthy life years measures the number of remaining years that a person of a specific age is expected to live without any severe or moderate health problems.

Self-perceived health is the subjective evaluation of an individual about his health, encompassing both physical and mental health.

The next graph presents three categories for self-perceived health: Good/Very Good Health, Fair Health (neither good nor bad), and Bad/Very Bad Health. The data are presented separately for males and females.

Healthy life expectancy based on self-perceived health describes how many years a person is expected to live in good self-perceived health. Indicator combines mortality data with data on self-perceived health.

One way of measuring mortality is to calculate the Years of Potential Life Lost which estimate the life years that have been lost due to premature deaths. To calculate Potential Years of Life Lost, the deaths occurring at each age are multiplied with the number of remaining years to live up to a selected age limit (age 75 is used in OECD Health Statistics).

The next graph presents the evolution of Potential Years of Life Lost for all and separately by gender.

The infant mortality rate is defined as the rate of deaths of children under the age of one. The next graph presents the evolution of infant mortality rate.

The next graph decomposes infant mortality to distinct causes of death.
