Life expectancy is a measure that estimates the average remaining years of life at birth or other specific ages. Life expectancy in Canada has more than doubled over the last 200 years, from under 40 to almost 82 years of age. 

You can access the companion NICE Information Tool on our website at: https://www.nicenet.ca/articles/life-expectancy-in-canada. The online Information Tool  provides related links to videos, infographics, and a printable version. The National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) has developed a series of information tools derived from research studies that focus on understanding the challenges people face as they age. The research for these information tools is conducted manually, while their distribution utilizes AI-based technologies for generating audio and images.
