According to the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ), over the past 20 years, life expectancy increased in all regions, both for men and women. But even this was uneven, and the gap between the best and worst regions grew. The biggest increases were in Prague and the Liberec and Central Bohemia regions, while the smallest ones were in the Karlovy Vary, Zlín, and Moravia-Silesia regions.
