Despite the health services and receiving millions of immigrants who want to improve their living conditions, Germany does not rank well in Europe in terms of life span or average lifespan, as it ranked in the last positions compared to other countries in Western Europe.
In a ranking issued by the Federal Institute for Population Research (BiB) and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Germany ranked 14th in life expectancy for women and 15th for men, out of 16 countries in Western Europe.
The average life span for women in Germany was 83.5 years, and for men it was 78.8 years. The study was published in the European Journal of Epidemiology, according to abstracts published by the German “Tagshow” website.
One of the reasons that led to this ranking, according to the study, is the death of a lot of the population from heart disease. The authors suspect that there are significant barriers to preventing these diseases, as well as late diagnosis.
The study showed a decline in life span for men over 50 years, while the decline was in women over 65 years. The study sounded the alarm that the large spending on German healthcare sector It is not matched by an improvement in life span, but rather a decline.
Spain ranked first in life span for women with 86.2 years, while Switzerland took the lead for men with 81.9 years, while the last place went to the United Kingdom for women with 83.3 years, and Portugal with regard to men with 78.7 years.
