Over the 90s and 00s, life expectancy at birth has been steadily increasing from 68 to 73 in China.

= Infant Mortality = -Current Infant Mortality rate:20

Over the 1990s and the 00s, the infant mortality rate has been declining in China - most likely due to a result in health care development and nutrition. It may also be perhaps due to the fact that women are becoming more educated and are far less likely to have children when they're younger or in unhealthy circumstances.

 * The [|Gapminder]**

There is no data untill 1950. The Life Expectancy was under 40 in China in 1950. Frome 1950 to 1960, the Life Expectancy was not increasing in one direction, in some years it came down again, but starting 1963 the Life Expectaqncy has been increasing very fast. And the rate of the Infant Mortality was low too from 1950 to 1990. From 1990 to now, the Life expectancy and rate of the Infant Mortality have been getting much better.

The Life Expectancy of China is low compared with developed countries, but it is higher than other developing countries. The Infant Mortality Rate of China is high compared with developed countries, but lower than other developing counties. The cost of treatment of paytion will be higher. The country has to build more hospitals. Most of these Leading Causes of Death are degenerative in China. Some people have bad lifestyle who live in China. For example most of male adults are having smoking habit in China, which is the leading cause lung disease and lung cancer. The Life Expectancy of China is still lower than lots of developing counties. And the Infant Mortality Rate of China is behind developed countries. China is still a developing county, rather than a developed country. I think people should change their lifestyle who live in China.
