Life expectancy

The efficiency of the health care system in France can be proved by the high level of nation’s health and the annual increase of the population life expectancy for more than three months.

That especially concerns the French women whose life expectancy is second in the world according to the World Health Organization.

In 2004 life expectancy in France has established an absolute record, having reached indicators of 83,8 years for women and 76,7 years for men, which are the highest ones in the European Unity as Agence France Presse informs.

The National Demography Institute that has conducted the research believes it to be connected with the prompt progress of medical knowledge, especially in the sphere of oncologic and heart diseases treatment.
