List of countries by life expectancy - wikipedia List of countries by life expectancy Comparison of average male and female life expectancy at birth for countries and territories as defined in the 2013 CIA Factbook, with selected bubbles labelled. The dotted line corresponds to equal female and male life expectancy. The apparent 3D volumes of the bubbles are linearly proportional to their population. ( In the SVG file, hover over a bubble to highlight it and show its data. ) This is a collection of lists of countries by average life expectancy at birth. Contents 1 Methodology 2 List by the World Health Organization ( 2015 ) 3 List by the United Nations, for 2010 -- 2015 4 List from the `` GBD 2010 '' study 5 List by the CIA ( 2016 ) 6 List by the OECD ( 2013 ) 7 See also 8 References 9 External links Methodology Life expectancy equals the average number of years a person born in a given country is expected to live if mortality rates at each age were to remain steady in the future. The life expectancy is shown separately for males and females, as well as a combined figure. Several non-sovereign entities are also included in this list. The figures reflect the quality of healthcare in the countries listed as well as other factors including ongoing wars, obesity, and HIV infections. Worldwide, the average life expectancy at birth was 71.5 years ( 68 years and 4 months for males and 72 years and 8 months for females ) over the period 2010 -- 2015 according to United Nations World Population Prospects 2015 Revision, or 69 years ( 67 years for males and 71.1 years for females ) for 2016 according to The World Factbook. According to the 2015 World Health Organization ( WHO ) data, women on average live longer than men in all major regions and in all individual countries except for Mali and Swaziland. The countries with the lowest overall life expectancies per the WHO are Sierra Leone, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Guinea - Bissau, Lesotho, Somalia, Swaziland, Angola, Chad, Mali, Burundi, Cameroon, and Mozambique. Of those countries, only Lesotho, Swaziland, and Mozambique in 2011 were suffering from an HIV prevalence rate of greater than 10 percent in the 15 -- 49 age group. Comparing life expectancies from birth across countries can be problematic. There are differing definitions of live birth vs stillbirth even among more developed countries and less developed countries often have poor reporting. Republic of China ( Taiwan ) 's data is not included in the following WHO statistics. According to the Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of China, the life expectancy of the 23.5 - million Taiwanese people reached 80.2 years in 2015, up from 79.84 years in 2014. The life expectancy of Taiwanese males averaged 77.01, while that of females reached 83.62, both of which were record highs. Hong Kong is a territory with the world 's highest life expectancy according to Hong Kong Department of Health, the life expectancy reached 84.0 years in 2015 surpassing Japan 's 83.7 years. With men at 81.2 years and women at 87.3 years. The data is not included in the following WHO statistics as a separate entity since Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China, and is not itself a member of the WHO.
