In the nineteenth century, this average rose to forty years. Today, a statistical Pole lives approx. 72 years, while a Polish woman lives 9 years longer. Life expectancy has increased in recent times mainly due to the advances in medicine, which have resulted in a reduction in child mortality, the availability of drugs, the elimination of deadly diseases (e.g. plague, tuberculosis), vaccines, and the spread of hygiene habits, etc.
