orveško in Švico, se predpostavlja, da bo pričakovano trajanje življenja v letu 2100 rojenih dečkov že okoli 90 let, v istem letu rojenih deklic pa okoli 93 let. orway and Switzerland, life expectancy for boys born in 2100 is projected to be around 90 years of age and for girls born in 2100 around 93 years of age.
Statistika umrlih v Sloveniji je tudi v letu 2018 tako kot v letu 2017, ki je bilo po 2. svetovni vojni leto z drugim najvišjim številom umrlih (20.509), presegla število 20.000. V 2018 je namreč umrlo 20.485 prebivalcev in prebivalk (10.113 moških in 10.372 žensk). Tudi v 2018 je tako kot v 2017 več prebivalcev Slovenije umrlo, ko se jih je rodilo. Po enajstih zaporednih letih pozitivnega naravnega prirasta je bilo leto 2018 tako drugo leto zapored z negativnim naravnim prirastom. Ta je bil posledica višje stopnje umrljivosti oseb v primerjavi s prejšnjimi leti, zlasti v zimskih mesecih. Dan in mesec z največ umrlimi V letu 2018 je v Sloveniji umrlo povprečno 56 oseb na dan. Mesec, v katerem jih je v tem letu umrlo največ, in edini mesec, v katerem jih je umrlo več kot 2.000, je bil marec (2.047). Dan, v katerem jih je v tem letu umrlo največ, pa je bil 27. februar (82). 51,6 % oseb, umrlih v 2018, je umrlo v zdravstveni ustanovi, 42,0 % doma, 6,4 % pa drugje. Povprečna starost umrlih se zvišuje Povprečna starost umrlih se je v Sloveniji v zadnjih 30 letih zvišala za skoraj devet let (z 69,1 leta v 1988 na 77,9 leta v 2018). Moški umirajo v povprečju pri nižji starosti kot ženske, vendar se povprečna starost umrlih moških zvišuje nekoliko hitreje kot povprečna starost umrlih žensk. Povprečna starost v letu 2018 umrlih moških je bila 74,1 leta, kar je za 9,7 leta več kot pred 30 leti; takrat je bila 64,4 leta. Povprečna starost v letu 2018 umrlih žensk pa je bila 81,6 leta, kar je za 8,6 leta več kot pred 30 leti; takrat je bila 73,0 leta. Podatki o povprečni starosti umrlih moških in žensk, razčlenjeni po statističnih regijah, pokažejo, da je bila povprečna starost umrlih za oba spola v letu 2018 najvišja v regijah zahodne Slovenije in da se je v smeri proti vzhodu postopno zniževala. Stopnja prezgodnje umrljivosti se znižuje Stopnja prezgodnje umrljivosti (tj. umrljivosti pred 65. letom starosti) je za moške višja kot za ženske, se pa za oba spola znižuje. Med v letu 2018 umrlimi je bilo 3.385 ali 16,5 % oseb, ki so umrle pred 65. letom (med umrlimi moškimi jih je bilo 2.294 ali 22.7 %, med umrlimi ženskami pa 1.091 ali 10,5 %). Pred 30 leti je pred 65. letom starosti umrlo skoraj za polovico več oseb kot v 2018 (6.326 ali 33,1 % oseb). 70,6 % vseh smrti v Sloveniji v 2018 posledica bolezni obtočil in neoplazem Skoraj 71 % oseb od vseh, ki so v 2018 umrle v Sloveniji, je umrlo za posledicami bolezni obtočil in neoplazem. Najpogostejši vzroki smrti zaradi bolezni obtočil so bili: odpoved srca, srčni infarkt in možganska kap. Med najpogostejšimi vzroki smrti zaradi neoplazem pa so bili: pljučni rak, rak dojke, rak prostate in rak prebavil (rak trebušne slinavke, rak želodca). Število umrlih zaradi bolezni obtočil na 1.000 prebivalcev je bilo v 2018 najvišje v pomurski regiji (5,2 na 1.000 prebivalcev), najnižje pa v osrednjeslovenski regiji (3,0 na 1.000 prebivalcev). Število umrlih zaradi neoplazem je bilo v navedenem letu najvišje v zasavski regiji (3,9 na 1.000 prebivalcev), najnižje pa v osrednjeslovenski regiji (2,9 na 1.000 prebivalcev). Bolezni obtočil in neoplazme najpogostejša vzroka smrti tudi v drugih državah članicah EU-28 Podatek o standardizirani stopnji umrljivosti (to je tehtano povprečje starostne umrljivosti) omogoča primerjavo stopenj umrljivosti med državami in kaže, da je tudi v drugih državah članicah EU-28 po zadnjih podatkih za leto 2016, umrlo največ prebivalcev zaradi bolezni obtočil in neoplazem. Zaradi bolezni obtočil je največ oseb umrlo v Bolgariji (več kot 1.000 oseb na 100.000 prebivalcev), najmanj pa v Franciji (197 oseb na 100.000 prebivalcev). Zaradi posledic neoplazem je umrlo največ oseb na 100.000 prebivalcev na Madžarskem, in sicer 352 oseb na 100.000 prebivalcev. Več kot 300 oseb na 100.000 prebivalcev je zaradi posledic neoplazem umrlo še na Hrvaškem, Slovaškem, Poljskem in v Sloveniji. Najmanj oseb na 100.000 prebivalcev je za posledicami neoplazem umrlo na Cipru (201 oseba na 100.000 prebivalcev). Kako dolgonaj biživeli v prihodnosti? Pričakovano trajanje življenja je kazalnik, ki pove, koliko let življenja lahko pričakuje oseba, rojena v določenem letu v določeni državi (kraju), ob rojstvu. Vrednost tega kazalnika se daljša, razlika v pričakovanem trajanju življenja ob rojstvu med spoloma pa se počasi zmanjšuje. V zadnjih treh desetletjih se je pričakovano trajanje življenja za moške podaljšalo za 9,5 leta, za ženske pa za 7,3 leta. Dečki,rojeni v 2018 v Sloveniji, lahko pričakujejo, da bodo ob nespremenjeni umrljivosti dočakali 78,3 leta. Na ravni statističnih regij lahko pričakujejo najvišjo starost dečki, ki so se v 2018 rodili v koroški regiji (79,7 leta), najnižjo pa tisti, ki so se rodili v pomurski regiji (76,2 leta). Deklice, rojene v 2018 v Sloveniji, lahko pričakujejo, da bodo ob nespremenjeni umrljivosti dočakale 84 let. Na ravni regij lahko pričakujejo najdaljše življenje deklice, ki so se v 2018 rodile v osrednjeslovenski regiji (84,6 leta), najkrajše pa tiste, ki so se rodile v koroški regiji (82,3 leta). Glede na rezultate projekcij EUROPOP2018, ki jih je pripravil Eurostat za vse države članice ter za Islandijo After 2017 when Slovenia recorded the second highest number of deaths after World War II (20,509) the number exceeded 20,000 also in 2018. In 2018, 20,485 persons died (10,113 men and 10,372 women). More people died than were born. For the second time after eleven years of natural increase, more people died than were born. Natural decrease was a consequence of a higher mortality rate of persons in winter months. Day and month with most deaths Last year on average 56 persons died per day. March was the month with the most deaths; 2,047 persons died and it was the only month in the year in which more than 2,000 deaths were recorded. The day with the most deaths in 2018 was 27 February. On that day 82 persons died. More than half of the people who died in 2018 died in health institutions (51.6%); 42% of people died at home and 6.4% of people died elsewhere. Mean age at death is on the rise The mean age at death in the last 30 years in Slovenia increased by almost nine years (from 69.1 years in 1988 to 77.9 years in 2018). On average, men die sooner than women, but their mean age at death is rising faster than the mean age of women at death. The mean age of men at death in 2018 was 74.1 years or 9.7 years higher than 30 years ago when it was 64.4 years. The mean age of women at death in 2018 was 81.6 years or 8.6 years higher than 30 years ago when it was 73.0 years. Focusing on the differences in the mean age at death of men and women by statistical regions in 2018, we can see that the mean age at death is the highest in the regions of Western Slovenia and decreases towards the East. The share of premature mortality is on the decline The share of premature mortality (deaths recorded before the age of 65) is on the decline. In Slovenia, 3,385 persons died before becoming 65 years of age, which was 16.5% of all deaths in 2018. Thirty years ago nearly one and a half times as many people died before becoming 65 years of age as in 2018 (6,326 persons or 33.1%). The share of premature mortality was higher for men than for women. In 2018, 2,294 men or 22.7% and 1,091 women or 10.5% died before becoming 65 years of age. 70.6% of all deaths due to diseases of the circulatory system and neoplasms Diseases of the circulatory system and neoplasms were the most common causes of death for almost 71% of all deaths in 2018. The most common cause of death due to diseases of the circulatory system included heart failure, heart attack and stroke. The most common causes of death due to neoplasms were lung cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and gastrointestinal cancer (pancreatic cancer, gastric cancer). The most deaths due to diseases of the circulatory system per 1,000 population were recorded in the Pomurska region (5.2 per 1,000 population) and the fewest in the Osrednjeslovenska region (3.0 per 1,000 population). The most deaths due to neoplasms were recorded in the Zasavska region (3.9 per 1,000 population) and the fewest in the Osrednjeslovenska region (2.9 per 1,000 population). Diseases of the circulatory system and neoplasms were the most common causes of death also in the EU-28 Data on the standardised mortality rate (weighted average of age-specific mortality rates) allow a comparison of mortality rates among countries. According to the latest available data for 2016 the most common causes of death in EU-28 Member States were also diseases of the circulatory system and neoplasms. Bulgaria recorded the most deaths due to the diseases of the circulatory system (more than 1,000 persons per 100,000 population), while France recorded the fewest (197 persons per 100,000 population). Hungary recorded the most deaths due to neoplasms (352 persons per 100,000 population). More than 300 persons per 100,000 population died due to neoplasms also in Croatia, Slovakia, Poland and Slovenia. The fewest persons died due to neoplasms in Cyprus (201 person per 100,000 population). How long are we projected tolive in the future? Life expectancy is increasing, but the gap in life expectancy of men and women is narrowing. In the last three decades life expectancy increased for men by 9.5 years and for women by 7.3 years. With the same mortality rate, a boy born in Slovenia in 2018 can expect to live 78.3 years. The highest life expectancy can be expected by a boy born in the Koroška region (79.7 years) and the least by a boy born in the Pomurska region (76.2 years). With the same mortality rate, a girl born in 2018 can expect to live 84 years. The highest life expectancy can be expected by a girl born in the Osrednjeslovenska region (84.6 years) and the least by a girl born in the Koroška region (82.3 years). According to the results of EUROPOP2018 population projections produced by Eurostat for all EU Member States, Iceland
