Demographics in Minnesota. Minnesota Life Expectancy Rises.
A Minnesota Planning news release dated July 23, 2002 reported that life expectancy in Minnesota rose 1.3 years between 1990 and 2000.
 
Life expectancy is now 81.5 years for women and 76.5 years for men. Gains in life expectancy were smaller than in previous decades.
 
Life expectancy in Minnesota grew 1.6 years in the 1980s and 3.2 years in the 1970s. "It's getting harder to get big gains in life expectancy," noted State Demographer Tom Gillaspy. Since mortality among children and young people is low, future life expectancy gains will depend increasingly on achieving falling mortality rates among the elderly.
Over the past three decades, the life expectancy difference between men and women fell from 7.4 to 5.0 years. The report, Minnesota Life Expectancy in 2000, is available online at http://www.mnplan.state.mn.us/demography/PopNotes/LifeExpectancy/MNLifeExpectancy.pdf. (96)
