Life expectancy in Denmark was 33.3 in the year 1765, and over the course of the next 255 years, it is expected to have increased by almost fifty years, to 80.7 years in 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout Denmark's history, there were several times where the rate deviated from its previous trajectory. These changes were a result of the Napoleonic Wars and the First Cholera Pandemic in the early 1800s, and later because of the Spanish Influenza Epidemic of the 1910s.
