In 2022, 22,492 residents of Slovenia died or 3% fewer than in the previous year. The mean age at death for men was 74.9 years and for women 82.5 years. A boy born in 2022 can expect to live 78.4 years and a girl 83.9 years.
Fewer deaths than a year earlier
In 2022, 22,492 residents of Slovenia died, 11,136 men and 11,356 women. This was 3% fewer than in 2021, 6% fewer than in 2020, and 9% more than in the pre-epidemic year of 2019. At the national level, 10.7 people died per 1,000 population. At the level of statistical regions, the number of deaths per 1,000 population was the highest in Pomurska (13.2) and the lowest in Osrednjeslovenska (9.1).
The mean age at death slightly higher than a year before
The mean age at death in 2022 was 78.7 years and thus 0.4 years higher than in 2021 (78.3 years) and half a year lower than in 2020 (79.2 years), when mortality was strongly marked by the COVID-19 epidemic. The mean age at death for men was 74.9 years and for women 82.5 years.
Per day on average most deaths in February
On average 62 people died per day or 2 fewer than in 2021 and 4 fewer than in 2020. On average, most deaths per day were recorded in February (76) and the fewest in September (52). The day with the highest number of deaths was 1 February (93).
Premature mortality is still in decline
Premature mortality tells how many persons die (in %) before 65 years of age. In 2022, the share of premature mortality was 14%. The share of premature mortality among men was 20% and has always been higher than among women (9%); however, it is in decline for both sexes. Ten years ago (in 2012), the share of premature mortality among men was 29% and among women 12%.
Life expectancy at birth for both sexes higher than a year before
A boy born in 2022 can expect to live 78.4 years, almost one year more than a year before (0.8 years). A girl born in the same year can expect to live 83.9 years or 0.2 years more than a year before.
More infant deaths than a year before
Forty-four infants (29 boys and 15 girls) died in 2022, which is 2.5 per 1,000 live births. The infant mortality rate has been in decline in Slovenia. In the years after WW II, more than 50 infants died per 1,000 live births. In the last 16 years, infant mortality has fallen below 3 infant deaths per 1,000 live births.
Natural decrease the second largest since 1945
In Slovenia, natural decrease has been recorded every year since 2017, as more people die each year than are born. Natural increase was recorded in 2022 only in September. The value of natural increase in 2022 was −4,865 or −2.3 per 1,000 population.
