Changes in life expectancy across selected countries in the Western Pacific Region and their underlying risk factors, 1990–2021
Despite the efforts from the government and WHO in the WPR, the gaps between lower-middle-income and high-income countries remain substantial and further enlarged because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Long-term reductions in mortality and gains in life expectancy in all observed countries in the Region require the further modification of the profile of the underlying risks.
