The figures are in a public health report about mortality which is due to be considered by Tynwald next month.
Life expectancy for men in 2022 - the last year figures are available for - was 79.4 years, while for women that rose to 84.2.
The data also shows the Island's leading cause of death is cancer, followed by circulatory diseases.
