Historical development of different countries from 1950

The following list shows the development of average life expectancy in 176 countries with at least 90,000 inhabitants over several time periods in a ten-year cycle (source: World Population Prospects of the United Nations ).

Between 2010 and 2015, no country in the world had a lower life expectancy than in the years 1950–1955: The Maldives increased life expectancy by 41.8 years in this period, while in Guyana it only increased by 7.5 years. States that did not exist at that time are given in their current form, for example Germany is counted as a united country for the period 1950 to 1990 and given the average values ​​from both German states:
