People have dealt with stomach acidârelated woes in a variety of ways, proven and otherwise, for eons, but it wasn't until the mid-1970s and the introduction of cimetidine (Tagamet) that a treatment targeted the production of stomach acid itself.
Population of Paraguay 2015. As of 1 January 2016, the population of Paraguay was estimated to be 6 683 941 people. This is an increase of 1.34 % (88 120 people) compared to population of 6 595 821 the year before. In 2015 the natural increase was positive, as the number of births exceeded the number of deaths by 105 929.
The average life expectancy of the population is 73.92 years (2001 est.). Migration to the urban areas of Paraguay is common, but more than half of the nation's population still lives in rural areas, mostly in the east. Only about 5 percent of the population lives west of the Paraguay River. High rates of emigration from 1950 to 2000 have contributed to the large percentage (40 percent) of Paraguayans living outside their country and help to alleviate the high growth rate.
