Andorra: health and care

What is life expectancy in Andorra?

Life expectancy at birth in Andorra was 84.1 years in 2024: 81.4 years for men and 86.7 for women, according to the Department of Statistics' life expectancy release, published in January 2026. Over the last five years it averaged 83.7 years.

The department recommends using the five-year average, because in a population as small as Andorra's the number of deaths varies a lot from year to year, which can distort a single year's figure. Life expectancy is the average number of years a newborn would live if current death rates at each age stayed the same. The gap between women and men was 5.3 years.
