| Abstract: | The Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors Study (GBD) 2023, although invaluable for global health metrics, presents concerning estimates of life expectancy at birth for Monaco. Monaco is a microstate typically synonymous with world-leading levels of life expectancy at birth, with official sources, such as statistics from the Monaco Government and UN reports, consistently placing Monaco's life expectancy among the highest globally. The most recent estimate from the Monegasque Demography Observatory for 2022–24 places life expectancy at birth at 87·0 years; however, GBD estimates are substantially lower, at 80·4 years in 2023. This sizable discrepancy demands immediate attention. [excerpt] |
