List of world regions by life expectancy

This is a list of world regions by life expectancy at birth.

List by the World Bank Group (2021)

Estimation of the World Bank Group for 2021.[1][2][3] The values in the World Bank Group tables are rounded. All calculations are based on raw data, so due to the nuances of rounding, in some places illusory inconsistencies of indicators arose, with a size of 0.01 year.
