Description
This Alberta Official Statistic compares the life expectancy of Alberta and Alberta Health Services Continuum Zones (South, Calgary, Central, Edmonton, North) by sex for 2014. Life expectancy is the number of years a person would be expected to live if the age- and sex- specific mortality rates for a given observation period were held constant.

Usage Considerations
Life expectancy is the number of years a person would be expected to live if the age- and sex- specific mortality rates for a given observation period were held constant over the estimated life span.
As indicated by the upper and lower confidence limits (vertical black lines in presentation graph), life expectancy for Continuum Zones with smaller populations needs to be interpreted with caution.
Records for Albertans dying outside Alberta are not included in the Alberta Vital Statistics Registry. As a result, calculated outcomes would generally exceed those of Statistics Canada.
Alberta is divided into five continuum zones as follows: South, Calgary, Central, Edmonton, and North.
The denominator of the mortality rate uses population estimates from the adjusted Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan population registry. See Alberta Health’s Interactive Health Data Application site’s data notes for further details.
