List of countries by life expectancy
The life expectancy is present separately for males together with for females, as alive as the combined figure. Several non-sovereign entities as well as territories are also sent in this list.
The figures reflect the shape of healthcare in the countries covered as alive as other factors including ongoing wars, obesity, and HIV infections.
From the beginning of the current century there is a tendency to also estimate Healthy life expectancy HALE — the average number of years that a grownup can expect to make up in "full health".
Comparing life expectancies across countries can be problematic. For example, due to poor reporting in some countries and various local indications in collecting statistics. This is especially true for Healthy life expectancy, the definition of which criteria may change over time, even within a country.
