1.4 <strong>Health</strong> status<br />
As Table 1.8 indicates, life expectancy has improved and mortality rates have<br />
declined since 1980. In particular, the mortality rate <strong>for</strong> adult males declined<br />
by almost 43% between 1980 and 2005, a major improvement over 25 years.<br />
