Human life expectancy has doubled in the past century, but huge disparities exist. Unfortunately, some African countries find themselves on the lower end of the spectrum.
The countries with the longest expected life spans were wealthy in Asia and Europe, with Japan, Lichtenstein, Switzerland and South Korea all topping the list at 84 years.
In Africa, life expectancy varied widely across the continent due to factors such as access to healthcare, economic development, and prevalence of diseases.
