Icelandic men live the longest
Posted on Apr 5th 2008 8:00AM by Jacki DonaldsonIcelandic men have set a world record. They have the longest life expectancy in the world, says the agency Statistics Iceland.
Icelandic men lived an average of 79.4 years in 2007. Japanese men come in second, living 78.6 years.
Experts have no explanation for this occurrence and make no connection between age and the lifestyle factors we are all so consumed with, like diet, exercise, stress, and sleep.
Incidentally, Icelandic women are doing pretty well too, with a life expectancy of 82.9 years.
How do Americans stack up against the Icelandic population? In 2005, the CDC reported that a child in the United States could expect to live for an average of 78 years, up for 69.6 years in 1955.
