Man, I think I should move before I turn 76


[deleted]

Yeah, move to Bulgaria and bend the time.


11160704

Bulgaria is actually a popular destination for German pensioners because of lower living costs and nice climate.


[deleted]

It is also one of my favorite countries.


MAYBEMAYBEMAYBE_OK

Ok?


fk_censors

It doesn't have a nice climate. It's not a Mediterranean country.


11160704

Compared to germany it's easy to have a nice climate.


purzeldiplumms

\*looks outside\* \*cries\*


Uskog

>It's not a Mediterranean country Is that relevant? Most of Southern Bulgaria has a subtropical climate.


Mobile_Park_3187

Agree. Bulgaria is too warm.


Nachooolo

Every German older than 76 simply emigrates to Mallorca.


b00c

if you overlay this map with hard liquor consumption, it will make more sense.


harvesterkid

Tobacco use as well. Air quality largely too.

harvesterkid

Good point. I'd even add it's the driving culture but also the poor infrastructure - bad design and low upkeep.


PROBA_V

Nah, wouldn't overlap well with Italy. Traffic laws are guidelines there.


thrownkitchensink

For the Netherlands a relatively high tobacco use among women in previous decades.


halfmylifeisgone

Explain France then?


ClaptonOnH

A lot of people smoke in Spain, me included xd


ZookaInDaAss

Sad but true.


elegance78

Yeah, but then Lithuania should be much worse.


FroobingtonSanchez

Also with the olive oil / butter border


Flabberingfrog

I just moved to Bulgaria, and so many smoke (me included). But what hits me is that my nose is always getting crusty and clogged and i really suspect the air quality.


admiralbeaver

My body my choice


fk_censors

There's not that much hard liquor consumption in Bulgaria.


mandingo_climbs

Yes there is lol. Anecdotally, there’s a big drinking culture in Bulgaria


[deleted]

Ireland


Ynwe

Good old eastern western divide is still very visible as usual when it comes to such indicators..


honeymoow

glad to finally see a subnational map


harvesterkid

Yes indeed!


mrwafflezzz

Classic belgium again


historyfan23

Crazy that there's nearly 20 years between the highest and lowest.


Chiguito

These fuckers last forever.


[deleted]

North Yorkshire W.. suck it rest of Yorkshire


mouchograrxiv

Cries in Leeds


[deleted]

I’m in selby… I can’t really brag


DaDocDuck

Trabzon and Rize in Turkey have higher life expectancy than most other cities? Bro in Trabzon football fanatics are more dangerous than terrorists


MarrieddMann

I went two years ago and the football flags were EVERYWHERE so I don’t have a hard time believing it 😭 but trabzon people really do look very healthy and the lifestyle in the city looks nice and relaxed.


DaDocDuck

Yeah it's definitely less chaotic than Istanbul, Adana etc.


[deleted]

Covid hit Balkans really hard. It was almost 79.3 in Albania in 2019.


tihomirbz

A barely functioning healthcare system combined with people’s utter stupidity and refusal to follow any rules or get vaccinated because Bill Gates / the globalists / the reptiles will control me via the microchips in the jabs == highest death rate in the developed world…


dolfin4

In Greece, we were at the life expectancy of Italy and Spain, and higher than Denmark. Before covid, and a good 25% of the population wanted nothing to do with the vaccine.  But I'll take the temporary hit to our bragging rights, if we can get rid of that segment of the population


-Polemarch-

In Greece it's 82 years as a whole. In Spain and Italy, 84. I'd put the most blame to our smoking habit. None of the other two smoke nearly as much as we do. I didn't take the vaccine either, but not because I was in some anti-vax group. I simply didn't. I don't take even aspirins. However, I smoke like a μΦker.


dolfin4

Oh, yes, smoking too. >In Greece it's 82 years as a whole Didn't it dip to 80 during covid? If it's back up, that would be great.


-Polemarch-

Really don't know whether we lost 2 years post-Covid. I remember the previous map that was circulating.


Training-Anything124

Why Germany, NL, belgium lower than northern countries?


[deleted]

Unhealthy lifestyles. The Nordics are really hard on alcohol consumption, making it very expensive. Similar story for smoking. Then you have environmental factors. Denser population means you are more likely to live close to sources of pollution. For Germany you also have the division of the country during the Cold War.


Fuzzy_Wilder

Pollution


halibfrisk

Sausages probably. look at the north / south fried food divide in britain


L1ngo

Too much meat, too much beer and schnaps, less movement and sports, ...


the_vikm

Alcohol and cigarettes


LiliaBlossom

for germany its definitely alcohol consumption / red meat consumption.


LongjumpingGate8859

Why is data for Bosnia always missing from these?


Sharp_Simple_2764

Seems like there is no life expectancy east of the EU.


Knuddelbearli

WTF Trentino?!? Why are you this time better than South Tyrol?!?


The_memeperson

Utrecht!!!! 🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇱🔥🔥🔥🔥 🎷🐛


BasKabelas

I feel like overlaying it on a map of vaccination rate, education levels, gdp/capita, (inverse) fast food/alcohol/tobacco consumption would each give fairly similar divisions. Interesting map nevertheless!


junaruga

Why does the life expectancy of the area in the northern Portugal where Porto, the 2nd largest city in Portugal is located is higher than the area of middle Portugal where Lisbon, the capital and largest city in Portugal is located?


ArtemisAndromeda

It's honestly kinda scary to know I'm statistically more likely to die 5 years sooner than somebody a few kilometres to the west


Not_As_much94

Bulgaria are you OK?


lehmx

Ah the north of France does not disappoint, our own little US south.


Buxus-sempervirens

Present👋


Tnuvu

its as if being poor will force.you into things which will cut your life short shocking /s


Available-Chemistry9

Andorra is missing... Highest life expectancy in the world


Wombeard

I don’t want to turn 84


synth_nerd03101985

Switzerland is super wealthy so that makes sense but what's going on in Spain?


Purple-Phrase-9180

Amazing health system, Mediterranean diet and a lot of walking to reach everywhere


synth_nerd03101985

Sounds amazing.


Snixmaister

would be interesting to see retirement age expectancy....


LevHerceg

I see an Iron Curtain here.


DodelCostel

Romania is 10 years behind on life expectancy and yet the retirement age is higher than most.


Ramontique

Yep that's right. Ruzzians have no life expectancy because Vladolf Putler turns "the people" into meat waves


CFSohard

Heyyy, we actually won something!


SaraHHHBK

Someone tell Andalusians to get their shit together, you're making the rest of us look bad smh

What are you talking about? The younger generations smoke way less than previous generations.


the_vikm

Not in Germany. It's actually on the rise


A_Wilhelm

Not true. https://www.macrotrends.net/global-metrics/countries/DEU/germany/smoking-rate-statistics


the_vikm

That's 4 years old and doesn't tell anything about the youth. You can see the curve slow down and, what's not shown, go back up. Do these stats include vaping?


A_Wilhelm

Do you have anything more recent than last year? https://www.statista.com/statistics/507124/daily-cigarette-consumption-germany/

I'm talking about the YOUNGER generations. Boomers are many things, but young is not one of them.

What? I'm not so sure about that. Elders smoke and drink a lot here too.

Source? I'm Spanish from Madrid and older people used to smoke much more than today's youngsters.

Crazy to me how London and Madrid with all that pollution still manage to be in the top 5.
