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).

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).

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).

Life expectancy is the average number of years of life left at a particular age, based on death rates for a given period. This is a hypothetical measure useful for tracking mortality trends in the population.

All-cause age standardized mortality rates per 100,000 person years at risk from 5 years of follow-up from the Census of Population by educational attainment and sex for the household population aged 25 years or older for Canada, provinces, and the territories combined.

HALE is interpreted as the number of years of life remaining at age x, that a person would expect be in a full state of functional health, assuming the current mortality conditions and functional health prevalence remain in place throughout the remaining years of life.

The differences between males and females in life expectancy at birth are decomposed by selected causes of death. Changes in mortality rates for a given cause of death change over time and contribute to the overall change in life expectancy.

Life expectancy at birth is decomposed by potentially avoidable causes of death. Changes in mortality rates for a given cause of death change over time and contribute to the overall change in life expectancy.

Number of deaths, mortality rate, number of potential years of life lost and rate of potential years of life lost, by selected causes of death and sex, on a three-year average basis.

Life expectancy at birth, at the health region level, is decomposed by drug overdose deaths. Changes in mortality rates for a given cause of death change over time and contribute to the overall change in life expectancy.
