USA USA WE'RE NUMBER 37! AGAIN!


Life expectancy up worldwide; Japanese women live longest

People around the world continue to live longer, and in some poor countries the gains have been dramatic, the World Health Organization says in an annual report released Thursday.
...

The United States does better than average, with a female life expectancy of 81 and male life expectancy of 76 – but ranks 37th overall and does not make the top 10 for either gender. Top honors go to Japan for women (87 years) and Iceland for men (81.2 years).
