Gains in life expectancy have stalled in Scotland and some other high income countries in recent years. These two reports explore the impact in Scotland. One report aims to compare life expectancy trends in Scotland to those seen internationally, and assesses the timing of any recent changes in mortality trends for Scotland. The other report explores the relationship between stalling mortality improvements and socioeconomic inequalities.
