Question

How has life expectancy increased in recent times?

Answer 1

Answer:

Average years of life (life expectancy) have continuously increased in most countries over the last century with no apparent plateau (Vaupel 2010). In low-mortality countries, most of the recent rise in life expectancy has been attributed to declining mortality rates at older ages (Rau et al. 2008).
