Why do Hong Kong people live so long?
Expectation of life at birth is 83.3 years for men and 88.7 years for women (provisional) — among the highest in the world. Very low infant and mid-life mortality, accessible public healthcare, strong communicable-disease control and comparatively low smoking rates all contribute.
