India has gained more than a decade of life expectancy since 1990, a new study published in Lancet Journal suggests. However, in India there exists wide inequalities between states, the study mentioned. According to the study, life expectancy in India has risen from 59.6 years in 1990 to 70.8 years in 2019, ranging from 77.3 years in Kerala to 66.9 years in Uttar Pradesh. The researchers also pointed out that increase in India’s healthy life expectancy has not been as dramatic as the growth of life expectancy since 'people are living more years with illness and disability.'
