Life Expectancy Map in Beijing
A health report released on Monday reveals that the average life expectancy of Beijing citizens reached 81.81 year's old in 2014, with female citizens in downtown Xicheng District reaching the highest life expectancy at 86.82 years' old.
The Beijing Municipal Health and Family Planning Commission released the 2014 health white book on Monday.
According to the report, the average life expectancy of Beijing citizens reached 81.81 years' old in 2014, 0.30 years' longer than that in 2013. The figure for male citizens is 79.73 years' old, while the figure for female citizens reaches 83.96 years' old.
On the new life expectancy map, Xicheng and Dongcheng Districts which are in the center of Beijing, top the rankings, both surpassing 84 years' old. While the districts in the Beijing suburb have lower figures.
Experts say the average life expectancy in Beijing has already reached that in developed countries, like Germany and UK in 2012. And the figures in the core functioning areas, Dongcheng and Xicheng that have high-level social economic development level, are similar to the figure of Hong Kong and Tokyo (2013).
