The life expectancy exhibits a significant decline for all gender groups in 2022 compared to the previous year. In line with the decreasing trend, the life expectancy experiences their lowest value towards the end of the observations. Specifically, the life expectancy of men at birth should be mentioned, as it provides the lowest value with 58.6 years. Life expectancy at birth refers to the number of years that the average newborn can expect to live, providing that mortality patterns at the time of their birth do not change thereafter.
