Global life expectancy is approaching the levels recorded before the pandemic, the World Health Organization said, according to TASS.
The WHO noted that cardiovascular diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide, underscoring that non-communicable diseases continue to pose a major burden on global health even as life expectancy recovers.
The organization's assessment points to a broader rebound in global health indicators following the disruptions of the pandemic years, though specific figures and timelines for the recovery were not detailed in available reporting.
Health officials are likely to continue monitoring both the pace of the recovery in life expectancy and the persistent toll of cardiovascular disease as part of ongoing efforts to track global health trends.
