State of health in Germany - Statistics & Facts
Despite being the largest European economy, Germany’s life expectancy is underwhelming considering the wealth of the country. As of 2021, the life expectancy for women in Germany was around 83.4 years, while for men it was 78.5 years. This means the average life expectancy in Germany was the lowest among the DACH countries. Nevertheless, almost 60 percent of Germans stated being satisfied with their health as of 2023.
