MORTALITY: LIFE EXPECTANCY - AT BIRTH CHART 5-1

MORTALITY: LIFE EXPECTANCY - AT BIRTH

CHART 5-1

A. Definitions:

Number of years that a person would be expected to live, starting at birth or at age 65 if the age- and sex-specific mortality rates for a given observation period were held constant over the life span.

B. Significance/Use:

A widely used indicator of the health of a population, life expectancy measures quantity rather than quality of life. Life expectancy at birth reflects the overall mortality of a population.

Useful to determine required services in planning preventive and promotional interventions.

C. Limitations:

This indicator provides information only on fatal illnesses. There is no indication of burden of illness or importance of diseases that do not result in death.

Does not include homeless people or people living on Reserve that have chosen not to participate in the Census.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:

Saskatchewan (SK) residents had the eighth highest life expectancy at birth of the provinces and combined territories for 2007/09. The SK life expectancy was 1.5 years less than that found for Canada (CAN). Of the three western prairie provinces, SK and Manitoba (MB) had similar life expectancies and Alberta (AB) had the highest life expectancy at birth.

The health regions of Sun Country (SCRHA), Cypress (CYRHA) and Saskatoon (SRHA) had statistically higher life expectancies than the province. The health regions of Kelsey Trail (KTRHA), Prairie North (PNRHA) and the combined three northern health regions (North) had significantly lower life expectancies than the province.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:

Saskatchewan (SK) residents had the eighth highest life expectancy at age 65 years of the provinces and combined territories for 2007/09. The SK life expectancy was 0.5 years less than that found for Canada (CAN). Of the three western prairie provinces, SK and Manitoba (MB) had similar life expectancies and Alberta had the highest life expectancy at age 65 years.

The health region of Prince Albert Parkland (PAPRHA) had statistically higher life expectancy than the province. The health regions of Heartland and the combined three northern health regions (North) had significantly lower life expectancies than the province.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS:

The health-adjusted life expectancy (HALE) at birth for male and female residents of Saskatchewan (SK) was found to be lower than that for Canada (CAN) for both 2000/02 and 2005/07.

HALE at birth for SK males increased from 66.3 years for 2000/02 to 67.4 years for 2005/07. HALE at birth for SK females increased from 69.3 years for 2000/02 to 70.3 years for 2005/07.

During the same time period, life expectancy at birth for SK males increased from 76.2 years for 2000/02 to 76.9 years for 2005/07. Life expectancy at birth for SK females increased from 81.8 years for 2000/02 to 82.0 years for 2005/07.

MORTALITY: POTENTIAL YEARS OF LIFE LOST (PYLL) CHART 5-7

A. Definitions:

Number of years not lived by an individual from birth to age 75. Agestandardized Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL) is the PYLL that would occur if the population had the same age distribution as the 1991 Canadian population.

B. Significance/Use:

PYLL is an indicator of premature death. It provides a single summary number that allows different populations to be compared.

Useful to determine required services in planning preventive and promotional interventions.

C. Limitations:

When examining PYLL by cause of death, the PYLL is overestimated since not all the deceased would reach the age of 75 even if their death cause had been eliminated.

Does not include homeless people or people living on Reserve that have chosen not to participate in the Census.
