# List of German states by life expectancy

The official statistics of Germany, available on the Destatis website, do not include total life expectancy for the population as a whole. For a more correct comparison of regions with various differences in life expectancy for men and women, a column with the arithmetic mean of these indicators was added to the tables.

## Destatis (2021/2023)

By default, the table is sorted by the arithmetic mean for life expectancy at birth.
