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 life expectancy figures produced by the Office for National Statistics (ONS), available in table 1 and table 2 on the Scottish Interim Life Tables page. This is because slightly different processes are used to calculate the figures, ONS create interim life tables using single year of age whereas we create abridged life tables using grouped ages.
