Thailand    = 72.55years
Vietnam = 71.07years
Burma     = 62.49years
Cambodia   = 61.29years

Lao worst than Cambodia? Why?

Thailand, maybe their living standard and Public Health, medical service is more advance or more higher standard

But in Lao many people have no money to go for hospital and our public health service is not yet reach the remote area

The most important is Clean Water and Clean Foods especially for malnutrition desease, Diarrhea, Gastritis and other illness

You gotta be kidding meeeee, Our people die that young!! at 55.89 ? still don't believe it .So How the heck UN do this calcurated about this dead things in Laos. the reason I'm asking is Because when I was a little boy my surrounding neighbors die all the time, and all of them really die old, not as young as UN's statistics. the young die because of the Accident that's it... Wow I'm surprise by this!! and Maybe it truth..

It's pretty hard to get the right numbers but my grand father is 98 yrs old and he still can dance "fon lum vong" with sao noi.

I think "average" don't mean a lot... less in Laos again than in many countries
Some people die young, other very old.... and i thinkin Laos, as many people cannot access good healthcare services, the range between people who die young and the one who die old (because they are really strong, lucky, or rich enough to go to Thailand when they need), is huge... larger than in many more developped countries.

Many babies and young children die in Laos (and also young mothers when they give birth), because of the lack of healthcare... but also some people can live very old because they have healthy way of life and strong body.... this give a low "average"

No it is not too hard ok just look at the population.

This person hit the nail right on the head.

The average is based on the population. Lao is with far less population than Cambodia or any other country.

126????? B.S.!!!!!! I think you guys added one too many birthdays for her. Plus, lao folks doesn't keep or have any birth certificate to proof it anyways. I think that would be the world record if she live til 126... I think the current world record of oldest person living is in Japan. I didnt have time to google it.
