Basically the average is 79.5 years.

But you have to remember that 3rd world countries are calculated into this average and for more developed countires the average life expectancy for women is higher.

For example-

Japanese women 82.51.French women 80.94 years.American women placed at 79.10 years.

Answer 9

I have lived in Spain for the past 5 years and am amazed that so many of my kids' friends have both sets of great-grandparents alive.  It's very common to make it into your 90s here whereas in the UK if someone dies at around 78 it is generally thought that they had a long life.

Answer 10

LIVING LONGER: The Japanese still live longer than anyone else. Japanese women born in 1993 are expected to live 82.51 years- up .129 years from the previous year. Men are expected to live 76.25 years- up .16 years. French women placed second at 80.94 years followed by Switzerland at 80.90, Iceland at 80.89 and Sweden at 80.79. American women placed at 79.10 years. For men, second place was Iceland at 75.74 years, Sweden at 75.35, Hong Kong at 74.90 and Israel at 74.54. U.S. males were at 72.2 years. The Japanese said their long lives was due to moderation in eating and drinking. Other advice was early to bed and early to rise religious faith and hard work.

From a 1996 actuary- a man age 65 can expect to live to 80.3. A woman to age 83.8. A girl born in 1996 who misses the diseases of breast cancer and heart disease can figure on a lifetime to age 92.

Answer 11

67 years and 10 months.

Answer 12

Well, women generally live longer than men (men tend to get more heart attacks, and commit suicide), so I say about 80.  

Answer 13

the average life span is 79 in women ( which is 7 years longer than men )
