Life expectancy is the key measurement for assessing health of the general population. The average life expectancy was under 40 years in the 19th century. This has now more than doubled to over 70 years in the industrialised nations. The lowest life expectancy is between 50 and 60 years in certain countries. With progress in various fields, people started living longer in every country.
