Vietnamese people have the 56th longest life expectancy in the world.

With an average life expectancy of 75.6 years, Vietnam ranks 56th out of 138 economies ranked by the World Economic Forum for longevity.

The World Economic Forum (WEF) has just released its Global Competitiveness Report, which includes information on health care in countries. WEF ranks countries and territories based on the average life expectancy of their people. In developed economies, people often live longer due to better health care and diet. In some places, life expectancy is not as high as expected due to increased mental health problems leading to suicide, according to Business Insider.

According to this report, with an average life expectancy of 75.6 years, Vietnam ranks 56th out of 138 countries and territories with the highest life expectancy in the world ranked by WEF.
