Life expectancy is an important indicator of the quality of life and overall health of a community and reflects physical health, mental health, and individual behaviors, as well as socioeconomic conditions, the quality of the health care system, and other local environmental factors. This was especially the case in New York State, where life expectancy increased from 74.7 years to 80.4 years during this time period.
