South Korean women will be the first in the world to have an average life expectancy above 90, a study suggests.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday that life expectancy increased by five years globally since 2000, but that major inequalities persist within and among countries.
Life expectancy declined slightly for white Americans in 2014, according to new federal data, a troubling sign that distress among younger and middle-age whites who are dying at ever-higher rates from drug overdoses is lowering average life spans for the white population as a whole.
Singapore has an average life expectancy at birth of 82, making it a joint fourth with Italy on a latest World Health Organization ranking, local daily Straits Times reported on Monday.
