This is a list of American countries by life expectancy at birth.

World Bank Group (2021) edit

Estimation of the World Bank Group for 2021.[1][2][3] The data is filtered according to the list of countries in the Americas. The values in the World Bank Group tables are rounded. All calculations are based on raw data; so due to the nuances of rounding, in some places illusory inconsistencies of indicators arose, with a size of 0.01 year.
