| Résumé : | In the two decades before the pandemic, Ireland’s life expectancy grew faster than the EU average, and during the pandemic its decline was comparatively less severe. As of 2021, life expectancy at birth stood at 82.4 years – about 5 months below its pre-pandemic level. Cancer was the leading cause of death, followed by cardiovascular diseases. As in most EU countries, prevalence of behavioural risk factors in Ireland tends to follow a socioeconomic gradient. In 2019, smoking was higher among individuals in the lowest income quintile (18 %) than those in the highest (7 %); insufficient physical exercise showed a similar pattern. Conversely, heavy drinking was more common among those on higher incomes. |
