Australian men have longest life expectancy: Study
Australian men have the longest life expectancy in the world because of the nation\'s strong public healthcare system and a lively \"outdoor lifestyle\", one of the country\'s leading demographers said on Thursday.
Canberra: Australian men have the longest life expectancy in the world because of the nation's strong public healthcare system and a lively "outdoor lifestyle", one of the country's leading demographers said on Thursday.
According to the results of a study published in The Lancet medical journal, Australian men born in 2010 had the longest life expectancy of any men in the world, Xinhua news agency reported.
Demographer Bernard Salt described the results of the study as a little surprising considering Australians have notoriously poor diets, but said a "pretty good quality of life" counteracts the poor eating habits - attributing a lively outdoor lifestyle to the longevity.
"I was a little taken aback by that report because I thought the Japanese men and women were streets ahead," Salt said.
"To have the highest life expectancy says something about the lifestyle in Australia, particularly in men." It comes down to healthy outdoor living and quality of health care.
