Health Status, Life Expectancy
Overall Niagara residents experience a slightly lower life expectancy as their counterparts in Ontario:
- For women; Niagara 81.3 years, Ontario 82.0 years
- For men; Niagara 76.3 years, Ontario 77.4 years
However, Niagara residents have fewer years without illness. This suggests that more health care services are going to be needed to treat chronic illnesses and prevent further deterioration.
