The Netherlands experienced a steady rise in life expectancy from 77 years in 1990 to 82 years by 2022, driven by its advanced healthcare system, emphasis on preventive care, and high living standards. Notable gains during the 2000s reflect effective management of chronic diseases and improvements in elderly care.
