Among the lower age groups, there are somewhat more men, and in the higher age groups there are more women on both sides of Öresund. This is due to more men being born and women living longer.
The age structure in the Swedish and Danish parts of the Öresund region does not vary too greatly from that of their national age structures, but Region Sealand has a clearly different age structure with a higher percentage of children but a lower percentage of young people compared to the Capital Region of Denmark. In total, the two Danish regions have a lower percentage of their population in the ages of 5-20 than Denmark does as a whole, and a higher percentage of ages 25-40.
