Life expectancy at birth mirrors the collective mortality pattern within a populace, representing the mean duration an individual can anticipate living, spanning from infancy to demise. The research underscores that longevity hinges upon three pivotal elements: genetic makeup, gender disparities, and lifestyle practices encompassing hygiene standards, dietary habits, physical activity, societal norms, lifestyle preferences (e.g., smoking habits and occupational choices), availability of superior healthcare services, and even crime prevalence. Given the diverse array of factors varying from one nation to another, it comes as no surprise that global life expectancies exhibit notable discrepancies.

In general, there has been a notable uptrend in life expectancy. Over the period from 2000 to 2016, there was a global surge of 5.5 years in the average life expectancy, with certain regions in Africa experiencing a remarkable rise of 10.3 years. This positive shift was primarily attributed to enhancements in the survival rates of children aged 0-5 and the broader accessibility of antiretroviral therapies for HIV/AIDS. On a global scale, the daily number of births surpasses the daily number of deaths, fueling a substantial population expansion over the last two centuries.
