What age do most humans die in Scotland?

Answer 1

Life expectancy at birth for Scots continues to improve, and recent trends show a slight narrowing of the gap between males and females to under 5.0 years in 2007 (males now having life expectancy at birth of 74.9 years compared with 79.9 years for females). However, life expectancy in Scotland remains low compared with most Western European countries. In terms of quality of life, healthy life expectancy at birth (based on a combination oflife expectancy and self-assessed health (SAH)) has also increased over the longer term but at a slower rate than the increase in overall life expectancy. The gap between life expectancy and healthy life expectancy is greater for women than for men, suggesting that they spend more years of life in poor health.
