Health at a Glance 2023
OECD Indicators
Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of healthcare, and health system resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.
Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Life expectancy and healthy life expectancy at age 65
All OECD countries have experienced tremendous gains in life expectancy at age 65 for both men and women in recent decades, although these gains have been diminished by the impact of COVID‑19. On average across OECD countries, life expectancy at age 65 increased by 6 years between 1970 and 2021, and by 2.1 years between 2000 and 2021. Five countries (Korea, Ireland, Chile, Australia and Portugal) enjoyed gains of a least 3 years between 2000 and 2021; five countries (United States, Poland, Latvia, Hungary and the Slovak Republic) experienced an increase of less than 1 year over the period, and one country (Mexico) experienced a slight decrease of 0.3 years (Figure 10.3). In Lithuania, life expectancy at age 65 remained unchanged between 2000 and 2021.
