Uzbekistan Life Expectancy
Life expectancy at birth, total SP.DYN.LE00.IN
Uzbekistan's life expectancy was 72.5 in 2025, ranked 131st globally. This represents a 0.1% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Uzbekistan's life expectancy stood at 72.5 in 2025, a rise of +0.1 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 72.5 by 2025. Uzbekistan ranked 131st globally.
Uzbekistan’s life expectancy has risen steadily over the 65‑year span from 56.54 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 72.46 in 2025, placing the country 131st in the global ranking. The increase of 15.92 years reflects gradual improvements in health services, nutrition and disease control, yet the figure remains marginally below that of its Central Asian neighbours, with Kyrgyz Republic at 72.54 and Tajikistan at 72.35. The early post‑war period marked the trough, when limited medical infrastructure and high infant mortality constrained longevity. Subsequent decades saw the expansion of primary care networks and vaccination programmes, contributing to the upward trajectory that culminated in the 2025 peak. While progress has been consistent, further gains will likely depend on continued investment in chronic disease management, rural health access and socioeconomic development, which could push Uzbekistan’s life expectancy beyond the current level in the coming years.
