Life expectancy of the Germans at a record level We are getting older and older

Life expectancy in Germany continues to rise. According to statisticians, newborn girls are on average almost 83 years old. On average, men do not get that old. People around the world are also getting older and older.

Life expectancy at record level
The life expectancy in Germany remains according to a message of the news agency "Reuters" on record level. According to data published by the Federal Statistical Office on Wednesday, for which all deaths from 2010 to 2012 and official population data were evaluated, it is 77 years and nine months for newborn boys and even 82 years and ten months for girls. One statistician said, "Both are record levels." Compared to the previous survey, girls' life expectancy increased by one month, while boys remained constant.

Growth also in older women
Life expectancy for older women has also increased. "Statistically speaking, 65-year-old women can count on another 20 years and 9 months," according to the Federal Office. This is also an increase of one month. Statistically speaking, 65-year-old men are still 17.5 years ahead of them. The statisticians have reportedly for the first time taken into account the results of the 2011 Census, the first census for over 25 years. It is said that without these results, life expectancy would have increased even more statistically.

Worldwide increase in life expectancy
Life expectancy worldwide has also risen significantly in recent years. In the framework of the "World Health Statistics", the World Health Organization (WHO) published results last year, which among other things show that among the women born in 2012, the Japanese would have the longest lifespan with an average of 87 years and the Icelanders with 81 years among the men , In 2014, more than 700 researchers had evaluated annual deaths for 188 countries and 240 causes of death. In the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD), they came to the conclusion that the life expectancy of the world's population has risen by a good six years over the past 15 years. The most frequent causes of death in Germany in 2013 were therefore heart disease, lung cancer and stroke, followed by Alzheimer's, colon cancer and COPD (smoker's lung). (Ad)
