The Hmong are an ethnic group from the highlands of Laos.

High suicide rate. Approximately 30,000 Japanese people commit suicide each year. Japan has the highest life expectancy rate in the world in part because of universal health insurance, compulsory primary education and a general healthy lifestyle, according to a new study.
This is referred to as the âmaximum life span,â which is the maximum number of years that any human is known to have lived for. The life expectancy in Swaziland is 49.4 years, while in Japan it is 82.6 years. However, the figure for Japan may be slightly increased due to many infant deaths being counted as stillbirths.ife expectancy varies by geographical area and by era. In the Bronze age, for example, life expectancy was 26 years, while in 2010, it was 67 years. In mathematical terms, life expectancy refers to the expected number of years remaining for an individual at any given age.
