Life expectancy is a useful summary statistic but not really a guide to healthy. The main reason for the increase there is a reduction in child mortality, not an increase in overall healthiness. Ironically, one of the main factors improving the adult population statistics is the decrease in smoking. But look at something like HALE (Healthy Life Expectancy from WHO[1]) that's much lower and is currently decreasing. https://data.who.int/indicators/i/48D9B0C/C64284D |
