Life expectancy in Poland was 35.9 in the year 1885, and over the course of the next 135 years, it is expected to have increased to 78.5 by the year 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout Poland's history, the most noticeable decline came in the 1940s as a result of the Second World War and Holocaust, which caused Poland's population to decline by about 17 percent, which was more than any other country.
