An analysis of data from a study published in 'The Lancet Public Health' highlights the stagnation of progress in reducing deaths from major causes of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

The same situation is happening in other European countries, with the deceleration being more pronounced in the UK and Greece .

The authors demand stronger government policies to address overweight and obesity, improve levels of physical activity, and ensure access to healthcare.

Improvements in public health and medicine led to increases in human life expectancy of around three years per decade .

But predicting how life expectancy will evolve during this century has been a topic of debate.

Some predictions from the 1990s suggested that long-lived populations were approaching an upper limit of life expectancy.

Others predicted that most children born in the 21st century would live to be 100 years or older.
