Deaths in France
Despite being the second most populous country in Europe, France was ranked fourth in terms of the number of deaths in Europe in 2017. As in other Western countries, the leading causes of death among the French population appear to be diseases and cancer. In 2017, more than 73 thousand French women died of cancer. Circulatory system diseases were also one of the most frequent causes of death. Regarding external causes of death, France has been fighting for years against road deaths. Prevention campaigns, as well as new traffic regulations, have led to a decrease in road deaths in France since 2006.
Aging in France
France has one of the highest life expectancies in Europe. The French appear to be concerned about health issues, now that the population of the country is getting older. However, since the mid-2000s, the number of healthy life years of French male citizens at birth has over 63 years, whereas it reaches 58 years in Germany.
