Australian men live longer than their counterparts in all countries of the world and have a life expectancy of 74.1 years, according to a recent study by the Australian National University.
The study included 15 countries from across Europe, North America and Asia, which have high life expectancy rates, and offer a new way to measure life expectancy and take into account the conditions of death of current generations, the Science Daily report said. the oldest.
Dr. Colin Pine, who completed the study, revealed that the Australian man has a high life expectancy, having benefited from the long-term stability of his country, and a high standard of living through the achievement of food sufficiency and the absence of conflict.
"Although many believe that Japan and the Nordic countries are countries with high levels of health, well-being and longevity, Australia is following in their footsteps," he said.
Age Metrics
He explained that most measures of life expectancy depend on mortality rates in a particular era, and that the study takes into account the path of life, including mortality rates of 50, 60 or 70 years ago, stressing the need to compare a group of people born in the same year They lived in similar conditions throughout their lives.
"This method allows us to see clearly if someone reaches the average life expectancy of their class, and if they are over the age of 74, we classify it as nearly 100%," he said.
