The life expectancy of Dutch newborns has increased sharply between 2000 and 2010, the Dutch office of national statistics (CBS) revealed today.
Life expectancy for men rose from 75.5 to 75.8 years, while for women it increased from 80.6 to 82.7 years.
In the same period the remaining life expectancy for 65 year old males rose from 15.3 to 17.6 years and from 19.2 to 20.8 years for women. The likelihood that a male of 65 reaches his 80th birthday has increased from 52 per cent in 2000 to 63 per cent last year. The increase was less for women, but three in four 65 year old females will reach 80.
A third of Dutch females of age 65 will reach 90, compared to 20 per cent of 65 year old males.
