Life expectancy is used around the world to measure the performance and level of work in the health sector in high-quality development, making this indicator one of the most important evaluation indicators of the health sector at all levels.
In the 70 years since the founding of New China, the mainland has made remarkable achievements in medical and health undertakings, and tremendous changes have taken place in the total amount and quality of medical and health resources, the level and service capacity of medical services, and the convenience of the masses in seeking medical treatment. Life expectancy per inhabitant rose from 35.9 years in 1949 to 77.3 years in 2020.
According to the "Average Life Expectancy of All Countries in the World in 2020" report released by the official website of the World Health Organization, as of 2020, the average life expectancy of Chinese is 77.3 years, ranking 43rd among all countries in the world, of which the average life expectancy of Chinese women is 78.8 years, the average life expectancy of men is 75.8 years, and the average life expectancy of women is 3 years more than that of men.
The rapid increase in the average life expectancy of Chinese is mainly due to the development of China's economy, and all walks of life have developed rapidly. With the strong support of the state, the medical industry related to the people's livelihood has also improved rapidly. Especially since the reform and opening up, China's medical technology capabilities and medical quality levels have been significantly improved. The medical quality index is one of the important indicators to measure the medical level of a country or region, mainly depending on the cure rate and mortality rate of 32 preventable and treatable diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases, respiratory diseases, etc. A high cure rate and a low mortality rate have a high medical quality index score, which means that a country or region has good access to and quality of medical services. At present, China's medical quality index has entered the top 20 in the world.
According to the "Average Life Expectancy of Countries around the World in 2020" data released by the official website of the World Health Organization, the highest average life expectancy in the world is 83.7 years in Japan, followed by Switzerland with 83.4 years, and the third place is Singapore with 83.1 years. Among the 183 countries that have published data, Sierra Leone has a life expectancy of 50.1 years, Angola at the bottom of the list of 52.4 years, and Central Africa at the bottom of the bottom with 52.5 years.
Japan, which has the highest life expectancy in the world, has 33.6 years more than Sierra Leone, which has the lowest. The three highest countries averaged 83.4 years and the lowest three countries averaged 51.6 years; the three countries with the highest life expectancy in the world were 31.8 years higher than the lowest three countries, a bit larger.
Life expectancy in various countries depends on a number of important factors, but here are the 5 most important:
1. The country's economic level and social welfare level: This is easy to understand, from the "2020 Global Life Expectancy Report" can clearly see that almost all the top countries are developed countries, the people of these countries are rich, and the national welfare system is good. The life and death of the people are well guaranteed, and the people do not have to worry about the problem of illness and no money for treatment.
2. Medical level: the national medical level, such as the number and medical level of hospitals, and the national treatment and prevention level of diseases with high fatality rates, such as cancer, heart disease, infectious diseases, respiratory diseases, etc. The higher cure rates for these diseases lead to lower mortality rates, which in turn increases life expectancy.
3. National stability: the country is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. On the other hand, if there is war or turmoil in the country, the lives of ordinary people will not be guaranteed, and the number of unnatural deaths will increase. Some countries in the Middle East and Africa are now in turmoil, where life expectancy is generally low.
4. Natural disasters: mainly including earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, volcanoes, etc. Specifically, you can look at the data of several major natural disasters in recent years: the Indian Ocean earthquake on December 26, 2004 caused a tsunami, killing and missing about 300,000 people; the Haitian earthquake at 16:53 on January 12, 2010, It killed about 222,500 people; the Wenchuan earthquake in China at 14:28:04 on May 12, 2008, killing 69,227 people, injuring 374643 and 17,923 people missing; the October 8, 2005 South Asian Kashmir earthquake, which killed more than 73,000 people and seriously injured nearly 70,000 people; and the Bam earthquake in Iran at 5:30 a.m. on December 26, 2003, with a magnitude of 6.3 on the Richter scale, with more than 45,000 deaths and 15,000 injuries. On January 26, 2001, the Gujarat earthquake in India killed 21,000 people.
5. Personal living habits: maintain a good attitude, insist on exercising, pay attention to safe eating and sleeping, and develop good living habits.
Here are a list of life expectancy in countries in the 2020 Global Life Expectancy Report to see how much life expectancy is in each country.
Cheer for the motherland, praise for the people, and wish the great motherland more prosperity and strength, and the people more happy and healthy!
