Life expectancy gap between genders over the years
Between 2011 and 2021, women in Russia consistently lived longer than men, with a
life expectancy gap ranging from
10.57 years in 2021 to
11.57 years in 2019. Despite slight fluctuations, this persistent gap highlights a significant
gender disparity in
health outcomes and
mortality rates.
Trend of life expectancy for both genders
Life expectancy for both men and women in Russia exhibited a general upward trend from 2011 to 2019, before experiencing a decline
. Women's life expectancy increased from
75.61 years in 2011 to
78.17 years in 2019, then decreased to
74.77 years by 2021. Men's life expectancy followed a similar pattern, rising from
64.04 years in 2011 to
68.24 years in 2019, before falling to
64.21 years in 2021. This suggests significant health improvements followed by recent challenges.
Most significant drop in life expectancy
The most substantial decline in life expectancy occurred between 2019 and 2021, with women experiencing a decrease of
3.4 years and men a decrease of
4.03 years. This period marks the most pronounced reduction over the decade, potentially indicating the impact of recent health crises or other socio-economic factors affecting
longevity.
Steady increase in life expectancy before recent declines
Prior to the decline in 2020 and 2021, both men and women in Russia saw a steady increase in life expectancy, with an annual growth showcasing improvement in healthcare, lifestyle, and possibly social conditions. This growth phase underscores the progress made in extending life expectancy before facing recent adversities.
Comparative analysis of year-over-year changes
Year-over-year changes in life expectancy show varying patterns of growth and decline, with the most notable improvements seen between 2011 and 2012 for women (
0.25 years increase) and between 2017 and 2018 for men (
0.24 years increase). These incremental changes reflect the ongoing efforts and challenges in public health and policy aimed at enhancing the
population's
lifespan.
