Global Life Expectancy

People today are living longer than at any point in human

history. Virtually every country enjoys a higher life expectancy

than it did in the 19th century. In 1870, the average person could

expect to live for 30 years. By 2015 that number had increased to

71, more than doubling.

The West was the first region to see an increase in life

expectancy. Scientific discoveries led to a growing awareness of

germs and disease. New medicines and treatments were

developed, and people adopted more hygienic lifestyles. Public

health measures were a major factor. During the 20th century, the

average lifespan in the United States increased by more than 30

years, of which 25 years can be attributed to advances in public

health.
