Some interesting 'surprises'? . . . .
Especially the first two, with Japan having had two atomic bombs dropped on it in 1945, and the highly 'polluted' and congested, Hong Kong region, of all places.
N.B. The first three-digit number is the overall country/state/capital/region's average (at birth).
The second figure the male average
The third is the female average, at birth.
1 Japan 82.6 79.0 86.1
2 Hong Kong ( China) 82.2 79.4 85.1
3 Switzerland 82.1 80.0 84.2
4 Israel 82.0 80.0 84.0
5 Iceland 81.8 80.2 83.3
6 Australia 81.2 78.9 83.6
7 Singapore 81.0 79.0 83.0
8 Spain 80.9 77.7 84.2
8 Sweden 80.9 78.7 83.0
10 Macau ( China) 80.7 78.5 82.8
10 France (metro) 80.7 77.1 84.1
10 Canada 80.7 78.3 82.9
What do these top 10 'countries' have in common? **

So why don't we just STOP hypothesizing and speculating. :)
We really haven't a clue!
So WHO really KNOWS?
God only knows ! :)
