According to the World Health Organization's health statistics 2011, released late on Friday, an average Indian lived till 65 years in 2009. In comparison, an average Indian lived for 57 years in 1990 and 61 years in 2000.

In our boyhood that is during 1952 to 1960 or so even a forty five year man used to be called as an Old Fellow.If he or she crosses 50 years the imagination was that he or she would with a stick to support.. NOw the social life has changed. Even after 60 people are active inspite of health problems like diabetes,BP,cholesterol,arthritis and so on.The impact of Colour Television is so much that even women of 60 years age are trying to look young.
还小时，也就是在1952年到1960年代，就连45岁的人也被称为老头。如果超过50岁，那么可以想象他是拄着拐杖。
如今，社会生活已经改变。60多岁的人尽管面临糖尿病、胆固醇和关节炎之类的疾病，然而看起来也生龙活虎。
彩色电视的影响非常大，就连60岁的女人看起来也非常年轻
Congress ka haath (kormar)
Indians are living longer because the inflation is so high that no one can afford to eat full stomach and they have to work harder to earn their bread. No wonder the health is becoming better due to less food and more work.
印度人活得更长命的原因是，通货膨胀非常高，大家都吃不饱肚子，只好卖力工作赚取生计。
难怪人们变得更健康了，吃得少做得多嘛Bharat vamsi (Tamilnadu , INDIA) replies to Congress ka haath
