The aim of the paper was to use inductive learning algorithm ILLM in the field of epidemiology, for prediction the life expectancy achieving. Data base comprised results of epidemiological investigation in some regions of Croatia. Overall accuracies for different samples and corresponding rules produced by ILLM algorithm, showed some interesting results. Algorithm can be seen as having the capacity to forecast 'achieving the life expectancy'. In the same time algorithm was not able to make a good forecast for 'not achieving the life expectancy'.
