Brunei’s life expectancy at birth increased moderately from 72 years in 1990 to 75 years by 2003, maintaining this level consistently through 2022. The steady rise during the 1990s reflects the country's robust investment in healthcare and social welfare, supported by revenue from its oil and gas industries. Universal healthcare and government initiatives to improve living standards contributed to sustaining this high life expectancy. The plateau in later years indicates a stable but slow progression in addressing non-communicable diseases and aging-related health challenges.
