LIFE EXPECTANCY OF A HUMAN >>>

[gtfpv]

g'day . i thought some may be interested ! i asked this questipon here some time ago in another topic . i did a search on google and found the answer

world average today is 67 years . @6.2 billion people .


world average in 1000 AD was 24 years . @ 270 million people .

just a bit of trivia . i didn't think it would be so high!!!

Yeah, we still have a long way to go in order to help third world countries in reducing infant mortality, life expectancy and provision of health and medical supplies. A large portion of the world unfortuanely is developing countries, and if we can help them up to speed, that number might go up a bit.

Overpopulation leads to less resources for each household. Unemployment, income, water etc. are lessened.

Many places of great poverty are overcrowded, where families have scores of children.

As I said, China is managing their overpopulation well to the point where they're managing their resources extremely well and their economy is flying.

and 23 % of their death rate attributes to cancer , from poor OHS practices , this will go up too.

Just to clarify further "science " used to believe that our ancestors didn't live beyond 30ish...it was proven in the last twenty years that they lived longer on average than us.

I heard about that chinese law this morning, what a load of crap, Who has the right to say how many children a family can have?
It is NOT the overcrowding, maybe its the government and ludacris laws like this one?

China doesn't manage anything, they dictate! If you seriously believe that they are managing their overpopulation you should probably go spend some time over there and see what is really going on!!!

Yes I have not been over there but from what my Chinese friend tells me I think you are closer to the truth.

I think over-population is a problem.

Contraception needs to be practiced in many poor regions where parents have 8 children and many of them due due to malnourishment, dehydration or illness. That way, we'd have the same number of resources for less people.

China is an example. 1 child policy and they're emerging as THE world's superpower.

Life expectancy means nothing though. I remember watching the news where an older lady turned like 105. She said she never smoked or drank. Ok...smoking...fine. But drinking?
The fact remains that you will die one day anyway, regardless of what you do or don't do. I love a drink here and there...just in good moderation (and quality too --no CUB garbage for me!).

My rule is live life to the fullest moderation.

Interesting.

Not so long ago people were dying from the common cold or scratches that go septic.

Funnily enough, when listening to "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen, there was the line,

"You gave them all those old time stars, through Wars of Worlds, invaded by Mars..."

I was thinking how funny it was that people were freaking out when this was played over the radio as people believed that aliens really were invading Earth. The reality is that this was not long ago either. It shows just how insecure we are at times.

No it was not directed at you ..but since you have raised a incorrect quote,let me clarify...it was not Queen..it was in fact "WAR OF THE WORLDS" by George Orwell which if memory serves me correctly was in the early fifties and when it was broadcast on radio AMERICA shat itself.

It caused chaos and death.

[sexr6tasy]

Hes saying the quote he made was from radio gaga by the band queen but war of the worlds over the radio was what stupid people believed hence the reason for the quote in the first place.

Speaking of incorrect references...

Whilst Mr Orwell was responsible for some mind bending literature (thank him for the current 7 oclock timeslot on channel 10), the radio show in question was directed by one Orson Welles and was an adaptation of a 19th century book

Was broadcast on halloween, 1938. Understandably, the people of the world were a little bit jumpy around the "W" word...

I gracefully accept the slap on head for my mistake.

But wasn't there a belief of peace in their time? :P

I have heard that most mammals (except humans) live for one billion heartbeats. Modern diet, medicine and living conditions have bumped humans up to about 2 - 2.5 billion heartbeats. These figures are AVERAGE.

The "limited heartbeat" theory was popular about 100 years ago, gymnasiums and cardio-related activities were frowned upon due to the belief that causing the heart to beat faster would shorten your lifespan would you believe!

yeah they say the human life "span" , is more consistant than human life expectancy.
life span 0-120. this has always been the case, and is not expected to change .
they say 1 in 2 people born today will make 80.

but if you are 67 years old now you have outlived 4 of every 5 people that share your birthday.

I was amazed to hear the other day on the news (over the cricket tour saga) that Zimbabwe has the lowest life expectancy in the world.

Life expectancy for men - 37 years
women - 34 years (2006)

Of all the countries in the world I would've thought of maybe 30 countries that would have been worse off IMO. Mugabe is obviously ruling with an iron fist.

Again an average figure - due to child mortality and AIDS:

Still with the laws of averages it is a shocking figure. And although child mortality and aids are the main causes, the trade embargo and the way Mugabes regime deals with Racism (which generally means no foreign aid workers) and general living conditions mean that the figures are lot worse than they really should be.

Rwanda, Republic of Congo, Ethiopia are generally poorer countries with worse conditions but have a better "average" life expectancy but aid workers and foreign aid generally helps, especially when you are welcome and not hated.

I worked out that if I live to the age my grandfather is now 87, my newborn son will be 50 years old! Made me realise just how old the old old man is.
