The pace of roughly 0.24 years gained annually places the Kingdom&rsquo;s improvement rate above the global average but modestly below the top-performing health systems in East Asia and Northern Europe. The gender gap of approximately 3.3 years (female advantage) is consistent with global patterns and has remained stable over the period.</p>
