Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research examines the factors influencing longevity across various populations, including socio-economic conditions, healthcare access, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle determinants. Quantitative data reveal significant disparities in life expectancy, with averages ranging from 57.7 years in Western Africa to 82.7 years in Western Europe. The study highlights improvements in global life expectancy, attributed to better child survival rates and access to antiretroviral treatments for HIV/AIDS. Additionally, the analysis underscores the role of healthcare expenditure in enhancing life expectancy and reducing infant mortality rates. Recommendations for policymakers include investing in healthcare infrastructure, promoting preventive healthcare, and addressing social determinants of health to mitigate disparities and improve health outcomes globally.
