Only the Italians have a longer life expectancy in Europe

The health of the Spanish people is among the best of Europeans according to a new study of the Academy of Healthy Ageing.

The Mediterranean diet and the Spanish quality of life mean that the average life expectancy in Spain is now 70 years for men and 75.3 for women. The numbers are beaten only by the Italians at 71 and 76 years.

The report says that that in the Mediterranean Countries not only do people live longer, they enjoy a better quality of life than others in the E.U.

However there is a bad side to the numbers. The low birth rate here, coupled with the long life expectancy, will make Spain one of the countries with the oldest population in the world.
