Please note: Scotland level life expectancy within these publications are a by-product of the process used to calculate smaller area life expectancy. They will differ from the definitive Scotland level life expectancy figures produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), available in table 1 and table 2 on our Scottish National Life Tables page. This is because slightly different processes are used to calculate the figures, ONS create national life tables using single year of age whereas we create abridged life tables using grouped ages.
