74.83 years
China's average life expectancy rose to 74.83 years as of the end of 2010, according to the National Bureau of Statistics. The number, 3.43 years greater than that of 2000, is calculated from the sixth national census, the bureau of statistics said on Thursday. A spokesman for the bureau's population department said life expectancy will continue to climb due to improved medical services amid the country's rapid economic growth.
