According to statistics, the average life span of Poles has been systematically rising.
Women live longer than men do.
They live an average of 77 years, men and average of 69. The difference results from the higher death rate of men of working age. The probability that a man aged 20 to 60 will die is 2.5 to 4 times greater than that of his female counterpart. Residents of cities are living longer. Until recently the average life span in the countryside was longer than in the city.
