Life expectancy around the world has soared, but we are now living with health problems that cause us years of pain, disability and mental distress.
This 'devastating irony', as researchers describe it, is one of the key findings of a landmark study assessing the global health in the history of medicine.
From 1990 to 2010, life expectancy continued to increase in most parts of the world. The average age of death rose from 59 to 70, with women outliving men by about five years.
The map below highlights the average life expectancy by area, with Scandinavia and Australia having the oldest populations.
