A study by Associate Professor Yuka Minagawa of Sophia University's Faculty of International Liberal Studies and Research Professor Yasuhiko Saito of Nihon University's Faculty of Economics found that the health conditions of Kazakhstans, Kyrgyzstans, and Tajikistanis in Central Asia are better than Russians. .
According to Sophia University, Associate Professor Minagawa and his colleagues used data from the 2019 Life Table published by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Values Survey to estimate the average life expectancy and healthy life expectancy of Russians, Kazakhstans, Kyrgyzstans, and Tajiks. , happy life expectancy, etc.
As a result, when the average life expectancy, healthy life expectancy, and happy life expectancy of men and women aged 30 and over were calculated by country, Kyrgyzstan had the longest life expectancy at 43.23 years, and Russia had the shortest at 39.69 years. For women, Kyrgyzstan had the longest life span at 49.23 years, followed by Russia at 48.94 years.
男性の健康余命はタジキスタンの28.80年とロシアの17.90年で10.90年、女性はキルギスの29.84年とロシアの19.02年で10.82年の差があった。幸福余命はキルギスの男性40.21年、女性47.08年が最長で、ロシアの男性33.23年、女性38.73年が最短だった。
The four countries are members of the former Soviet Union. The collapse of the former Soviet Union in 4 led to a decline in average life expectancy due to increased social anxiety and stress. This effect was particularly noticeable in Russia, which led the former Soviet Union, and Associate Professor Minagawa and his colleagues believe that this disparity continues even today.
