In which county do Albanians live the longest?

Based on the mortality indicators in 2022, the population of Tirana, both men and women, are expected to live longer compared to the other 11 regions of the country. In contrast, the residents of Gjirokastra have the lowest life expectancy in the country.

In 2022, the county with the highest life expectancy at birth for men was Tirana, with 81.0 years, while the county with the lowest indicator was Gjirokastra, with 72.5 years.

In the same year, the county with the highest life expectancy at birth for women was Tirana, with 84.5 years, while the county with the lowest indicator was Gjirokastra, with 77.9 years.

According to INSTAT in 2022, life expectancy at birth in Albania for the entire population was 79.1 years. It was 77.3 years for men and 80.9 years for women. This means that women are expected to live nearly 4 years longer than men.

The counties of Tirana, Durrës and Kukës have the highest life expectancy in the country. The population of the center of the country lives longer also due to the concentration of public health services.

Life expectancy has improved significantly from the middle of the last century until now. Albanian women in the 1950s lived an average of only 54.4 years according to official INSTAT data, while from that time until 2022, life expectancy increased by 45%.

Historical data on life expectancy in the last 70 years shows that if the greatest improvement occurred in the two decades of 1950-1970, this indicator increased by 18 years or 33%.

From 54.4 years in 1950, the average life expectancy in 1970 reached 72.3 years. Since that time, the life expectancy indicator in our country has grown at a low rate.

INSTAT predicts that at the end of the 2030s, the average life expectancy for Albanian men will be 80 years and for women 83.5 years.

Although the opportunity to have a healthy life in Albania as in the 1960s, where pollution and lack of food security have not been to this extent than today, Albanians have lived longer.

The change in lifestyle has increased the burden of diseases that were rare in the time of communism, for some others it seems that medicine has progressed, increasing the life expectancy of Albanians in half a century by 17 years.

Some evidence from the WHO database (Healthfor All database) shows that mortality from lung cancer in Albania in the 1980s was much lower than in most other European countries. The difference between men and women in life expectancy in Eastern European countries is strongly influenced by changes in risk factors, mainly smoking, alcohol abuse and road traffic accidents.

This comes, in particular, due to changes in the economic system, moving from a centralized economy to an open market system which has had its effect on births, deaths, migration, and certainly has an impact on the future of the population. Albanian.
