Life expectancy

Life expectancy at birth by age and sex in the EU.

This indicator provides a broad cross-cutting measure of health status at the national level and hence the intended ultimate outcome of biomedical and health research. Breakdowns by country and demographic characteristics also provide an indication of health inequalities, which is one of the key challenges identified to be addressed under Horizon 2020.
