Life expectancy at birth, both sexes: the years a newborn would live if the mortality rates for that year persisted. This is a period estimate, not a forecast for an individual. In 2024, the comparison lines show Georgia (74.7 years), Vietnam (74.7 years) and Azerbaijan (74.6 years). These peers have the closest latest values among reporting countries with over one million people and a continuous common history; they are not selected by geography.
