The Statistical Office of Slovenia released mortality data for last year ahead of All Saints Day, revealing that men die nearly eight years earlier than women on average. A total of 21,223 residents died during the period, representing a decrease of 283 deaths compared to the previous year. The average age at death was 79.3 years. Men were 75.4 years old on average when they passed away, while women lived until an average age of 83.1 years. This gender gap amounts to 7.7 years. December recorded the highest number of fatalities with 2,164 deaths, whereas September saw the fewest with 1,498. The peak daily toll occurred on December 26, when 97 people died. On average, 58.1 residents died each day throughout the year. Among those who died before reaching the age of 65, there were 2,817 individuals, accounting for 13.3 percent of all deaths. This group included 1,976 men, which represented 18.7 percent of male decedents, and 841 women, making up 7.9 percent of female decedents. The specific ages with the highest concentration of deaths varied by sex. Overall, the most common age at death was 88. For men, the modal age was 85, with 366 deaths recorded at that age. For women, the modal age was 90, with 524 deaths. Marital status statistics showed distinct patterns between genders. Among all deceased, 39.3 percent were widowed, 35.5 percent were married, 14.9 percent were single, and 10.4 percent were divorced. Among men, the largest share was married at 51.6 percent. Among women, the largest share was widowed at 59.9 percent. Leading causes of death remained consistent with previous trends. Diseases of the circulatory system and malignant neoplasms accounted for the majority of fatalities. According to the National Institute of Public Health, circulatory diseases caused 35.5 percent of all deaths, while cancer accounted for 32.7 percent. Together, these two categories comprised slightly more than two-thirds, or 68 percent, of all causes of death. Specific rankings differed by gender. Cancer was the leading cause of death among men, followed by circulatory diseases. Conversely, circulatory diseases were the primary cause among women, with cancer ranking second. Life expectancy figures indicate a long-term upward trend. A boy born in Slovenia last year can expect to live to 79.7 years if current mortality rates remain unchanged. Girls can expect to live to 85.1 years. Over the past decade, life expectancy has increased for both sexes. In 2015, the expected lifespan for boys was 77.6 years and for girls was 83.5 years. By 2025, this had extended by 2.1 years for males and 1.6 years for females. The statistical office published these findings to provide demographic insights prior to the commemorative holiday. The data highlights persistent disparities in longevity and health outcomes between men and women within the population.
