Top 10 countries where you live longest in the world
On an annual basis, reports are published that report all the data regarding the life expectancy of each individual country. The ranking you will find below is based on the Human Development Report of the United Nations Development Program, or the United Nations Development Program.
By expectation or life expectancy we mean a statistical indicator showing the average number of years of life of the inhabitants of each country. The result is closely linked to other important factors, starting with the lengthening of life expectancy at birth, which in turn is linked to the infant mortality rate. In fact, as you can see from the following tables, life expectancy is higher in more developed countries, where quality of life and medical care are also better and infant mortality is much lower. Hence, these data are also closely linked to the economic and social development of a state.
In the following tables, you can find the total average value and then, specifically, the average male and female life expectancy. Here is the top 10 of the countries where you live the longest in the world.
