This is a substantial increase from the 1950’s where the life expectancy from birth was 67.1 for males and 72.8 for females (Australia’s health data, 2020). In Norway, the life expectancy has substantially increased over the past six decades with males at birth expected to live up to 80.9 years and 84.3 for females in 2017 – This is among the highest life expectancy in Europe (Norway health system review,2020). This is a slight increase from the statistics of Norway life expectancy in 1995, where life expectancy was only 77.4 for males and 80.9 for females (Norway health system review,2020). Health performance measure: Mortality Over the 20th and 21st century there have been substantial advances in disease prevention, leading to large reduction in mortality rates in Australia (Australia’s health data,2020). Since 1967 mortality rates have decreased by 59%, from around 1,300 deaths per 100,000 individuals to 552 in 2015 (Australia’s health data, 2020). However, chronic diseases (such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer) are on the rise, contributing to 58% of deaths in 2015, a substantial increase from 23% in 1915 (Australia’s health data,2020). In terms of amendable and preventable deaths, Norway remains one with the lowest rates of mortality in Europe. Between 2000 and 2015, amendable mortality decreased by almost half, from 117 to 60 deaths per 100,000 individuals (Norway health system review,2020). In the same period, preventable mortality decreased from 50 to 35 deaths per 100,000 (Norway health system review,2020). However, cardiovascular diseases like many other European countries are the main cause of death in Norway, despite this Norway is among the countries with the highest
