Life expectancy is still increasing across the globe. Almost all countries outside of Africa have life expectancies of 70+ years with the healthiest countries reaching well over 80+.

Generally the improvement in health from medical advances and understanding of health outstrips any negative impacts from disease or pollution.

However the quality of life at older ages is not improving at the same rate. Thus we may need social care for longer periods which is starting to become an economic burden on societies.
