We’re all living longer, but Mediterraneans live longest in EU.
Life expectancy in the European Union has risen to its highest level ever recorded, according to figures released by Eurostat.

"Child mortality has an outsized impact on life expectancy. When countries have low life expectancy it is usually not because the 65-year-olds are suddenly dropping dead. It is because large numbers of children don’t survive childhood"

ADHD’s Sobering Life-Expectancy Numbers
The benefits of an early diagnosis are only becoming clearer.Yasmin Tayag (The Atlantic)
Life expectancy in Gaza dropped by nearly 50% during first year of the Israeli genocide. It now has lowest life expectancy of anywhere in the world.
Life expectancy for men dropped from 73.6 years to 35.6. For women, it dropped from 77.5 to 47.5. By comparison, in Nigeria, which had had the lowest life expectancy, people live for an average of 54.46 years. However, the authors of the study admit that their estimate is probably very conservative and the real numbers are likely much worse.

Will children born today live to 100? Don’t bet on it, researchers say. A new study says that while life expectancy numbers are still inching up worldwide, we’re approaching the upper limit of human longevity. “We’re squeezing less and less life out of these life-extending technologies. And the reason is, aging gets in the way,” says S. Jay Olshansky, a University of Illinois-Chicago researcher who was lead author of the study. Read more from @AssociatedPress.
