Life expectancy in the Netherlands was just under forty in the year 1850, and over the course of the next 170 years, it is expected to have increased to more than 82 in 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout the Netherlands' history, there were several times where the rate deviated from its previous trajectory. The most noticeable changes were a result of the Spanish Flu pandemic of the late-1910s, and the Second World War.
