Life expectancy is a key indicator used to gauge the overall health and quality of life of a population in a specific area.

This list can vary significantly across different regions due to factors such as economic conditions, healthcare quality, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Argentina is a country located in the southern half of South America. It is the eighth-largest country in the world by area and is subdivided into twenty-three provinces and one autonomous city, Buenos Aires, which is the federal capital of the nation and has a special status. Each province in Argentina has its own constitution but exists under the larger framework of the national constitution.

The life expectancy in Argentina has been steadily increasing over the past decades, thanks to improvements in healthcare, nutrition, and education. However, there remains a disparity in life expectancy rates between different provinces and territories, influenced by various socio-economic factors.
