Life expectancy is gradually improving after the pandemic, but there is still a significant disparity between the lifespan of men and women. To the disadvantage of the former.
The Central Statistical Office (GUS) examined the average life expectancy of women and men in 2022. In 2022, the average life expectancy of men in Poland was 73.4 years, while that of women was 81.1 years. This extended compared to 2021 – by 1.7 and 1.4 years respectively.
The data for 2022 represents a return to the pre-pandemic trend of gradually lengthening life expectancy. Covid-19 interrupted it: in 2020 and 2021, life expectancy decreased significantly.
Where do people live the longest? One could venture to say that the most long-lived are the highlanders. In two voivodeships – Małopolska and Podkarpacie – the lifespan of men is the longest and stands out in the country.
Men in the worst situation live in the Łódź voivodeship once again. They have an average life expectancy of 72.1 years. Among Polish women, the longest life expectancy is in Podlasie. The average expected lifespan there is 82.6 years.
