Norway for most of the 1800's: *We are number 1*
Japan, Hong Kong, and Korea in the 2000's: *I'm gonna end this man's whole career*

Anyone impressed by lebanon? All that hardship and still has one of the highest life expectancies in the world. That's Mediterranean food for you.

Average life expectancy is a pretty vague term. The main reason it was so low in the 1800s was due to a huge factor of infant mortality. Many children didn't live past 5 years old. This heavily skews the figures downwards.
The fact is that if you lived past 5 years old you would probably live to 60 or 70.
It's just that so much children died in their early lives that we get these odd figures.

A lot of this is due to huge infant mortality dragging the numbers down, it wasn´t like there were no people who were 60-70 back in the 1800s.
It would have been interesting to see the life expectancy rates for those who survived, say their 5th birthday.

Spain has come a long way in the past 50 years. Proud of you bros. 🇪🇺

[philroy]

for information : Martinique, Guadeloupe, la Réunion and Mayotte are French departments!

[korodyj]

Me watching this.. thinking how my grandma is turning 97 in 3 months, watching the life expectancy go higher and higher and realizing my life might exceed 100 years... 😱😱😱

5:10 Funny how Åland just popped in to say Hi! in the late 90s and everyone else were like "Who are you? Did Finland let you out on your own?"

Italy has the region of Sardinia, the second largest Italian island with many centenarians, often the Japanese have come to see this land to discover our secrets of longevity that also unite the Japanese people.

[johnnymigouel]

Lmao you didn't need to divide France and it's over sea regions. Half the top 10 was taken up by them lol

[charming.nsanity]

I'm surprised that anybody talked about Spain, at the first part of the video had a really dark red color and in the final of the video is in the Top 10 🇪🇸

[earb_]

It seems that almost all of the french overseas regions will make the top

[williamknows]

The nordic countries be like
“Staying alive, staying alive”
