Despite GDP differences, life expectancy in Cuba matches that of the United States
According to data from the United Nations and various national statistical offices, the average life expectancy at birth in Cuba is equal to that in the United States, despite a significant disparity in gross domestic product. This highlights substantial differences in lifestyle and healthcare systems between the two countries.
The data show that people in Cuba live just as long as Americans, even though they do not have the latest technological gadgets, such as the newest iPhone models. This underscores the importance of social and medical factors in determining life expectancy.
Going forward, this topic may attract attention to identifying effective healthcare and social support models that influence population health regardless of a country's economic status.
