However, from 2007 to 2017, deadly interpersonal violence skyrocketed 215 percent to become Mexico’s fourth biggest killer of people. Heart disease, kidney disease and diabetes, in that order, are the biggest killers in Mexico.It should be noted that this comparison was based on women’s life expectancies in these two countries. It is predicted by the Lancet, that because of United States’ stagnancy in life expectancy, as well as increases of this category by Mexico, the two countries will be on par with each other in life expectancy by 2030.The gap between the highest life expectancies in a state and the lowest is supposed to shrink as well from the 3.5 years in 2015 to 1.7 years in 2050. Life expectancy in Mexico is predicted to increase to 79 years by 2050.For example, in 2015, Mexico City was the region with the highest life expectancy at 76.2, while Guerrero had the lowest life expectancy at 72.7. There is a noticeable gap between life expectancies based on the various regions in Mexico.According to the National Population Council (CONAPO) report, recent fluctuations in life expectancy are a reflection of changes in mortality levels due to the increase in older adults and deaths related to diabetes mellitus and violent causes. This is in stark contrast to most of the world where life expectancies are rapidly increasing elsewhere.

Life expectancy in the country was 77.8 years for women and 72.6 for men in 2005, but by 2015 the figures decreased to 77.6 for women and 71.9 for men.

Life expectancy, just like malnutrition and infant mortality statistics, shows how well a certain country is living. Before jumping into this discussion about life expectancy in Mexico, it seems important to explain the importance of measuring life expectancy when attempting to solve the problem of global poverty.
