Women in Hungary outlive men by 7.0 years. That gap appears in every country on Earth, and only part of it is biological — the rest is behavioural, and most of that part is smoking, alcohol and violent death.
That is the average. What about you?

If you already live in Hungary, you will live longer than that
Life expectancy at birth is dragged down by everyone who dies young. Once you have already survived to a given age, your expected age at death goes up. Here is what the Hungary mortality curve says for someone alive today:
| If you are now | Men live to | Women live to |
|---|---|---|
| 20 years old | 74.3 | 81.0 |
| 30 years old | 75.3 | 81.4 |
| 40 years old | 76.5 | 82.0 |
| 50 years old | 78.0 | 82.8 |
| 60 years old | 80.2 | 84.2 |
| 70 years old | 83.4 | 86.3 |
| 80 years old | 87.6 | 89.5 |
Derived from the SSA 2023 period life table, re-based so that life expectancy at birth matches the published figure for Hungary. Why the number climbs with age.

What actually moves the number
National life expectancy is mostly not about individual willpower. It tracks healthcare access, clean water, road safety, infant mortality and conflict far more closely than it tracks personal habits. The 10-year gap between Hungary and Monaco is a story about systems.
Your personal number is different. Within any country, the distance between the healthiest and least healthy lifestyle is worth somewhere around 12 to 20 years — which is why the calculator asks about you, not just about where you live.
