Life expectancy at birth for men (M) and women (W), 2004-2014, Slovenia (SI) and EU-28 (13).

Age-standardised, cause-specific mortality rates for analysed groups of causes of death (according to ICD-10) for men (M) and women (W) in 1997 and 2014, Slovenia (standard age structure: total population 2014) (19, 20).

Contributions of age groups and different groups of causes of death to the 1997–2014 increase in life expectancy at birth e₀ (in years) by gender in Slovenia.
