WHO: Global life expectancy nears pre-pandemic level, healthy years lag
Anadolu Agency EN·about 23 hours ago
WHO data shows global life expectancy rebounded to 73.3 years in 2023, matching pre-pandemic levels, but healthy life expectancy at 62.8 years remains 0.4 years below 2019. The gap indicates pandemic-related health impacts persist, with recovery slower for quality-of-life measures than for longevity.
