Andorra

Malawi

Close with both, Uncle, in terms of ages, but the Andorra's miles away from the actual country with the best life expectancy.

Worthing - average age seems to be about 90 so life expectancy must be higher

 

[Taybha]

Denmark?

Mexico?

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Best, probably somewhere Nordic..?Denmark..worst, Benin or Somalia

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

There was a woman in Kazakstan in the Mirror yesterday who was 140 so they reckoned. So that would seem to be a decent bet for old agedness.

Reckon probably Scotland should break the African stranglehold on the top ten for shortened life expectancy. Blame it on the purple tin and the deep fried Mars Bars.

 

[Questions]

Surviving to 80 years of age on Guernsey must seeem a lot longer though.

 

[eastlondonseagull]

The best life expectancy is, rather surprisingly, Macau, where you can expect to live to a ripe old age of 84.

But avoid being born in Swaziland, as according to the latest CIA stats, you won't make it past your 31st birthday

In the UK, we can expect to live until we're 79. That 130-year-old Kazakhstani woman in the papers the other day was just a freak - she lived twice as long as the average person there.

Respect for your elders, young man!

I was going to guess...

Japan (Highest)

Somalia (Lowest)

I spent some time in Malawi and it is no surprise that they are at the wrong end of the table. No contraception, lack of basic medicines, hopsitals that make Nelson Mandela House look like Buckingham Palace and a severe shortage of sterile syringes.

Christ, I should have said she IS a freak. She's not dead, yet, I hope

2 Macau is in China
3 San Marino is not in Italy.

Andorra is wedged in between France and Spain up in the mountains.
Macau is a semi autonomous region in China , similar to Hong Kong.
San Marino is completely surrounded by Italy , similar to Swaziland being completely surrounded by RSA (Republic of South Africa).

Speak for yourself, chaps, as a bloke you can expect to croak around the age of 78, while us ladies are living it up until at least 81 these days

Unless you live in Glasgow, of course, where life expectancy for gents doesn't extend beyond their 69th birthday. Buckfast does that to you.
