Life expectancy in Switzerland was 38 years in the year 1875, and over the course of the next 145 years, it is expected to have increased to 83.6 by the year 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout Switzerland's history, it decreased once in this period. This decrease was a result of the global influenza pandemic (known as the Spanish Flu) that spread across the world in the late 1910s.
