Analysis# Oman Life Expectancy at Birth
Oman's life expectancy reached 80.246 years in 2024, matching its all-time peak. This represents a remarkable 126.5% increase since 1960, when the country recorded just 35.429 years—a gain of nearly 45 years over six decades. The sustained upward trajectory reflects Oman's significant advances in healthcare infrastructure, living standards, and public health outcomes across the modern era.

Recovery followed swiftly, with gains resuming in 2022 and accelerating through 2024. The sharp recovery and return to record levels signal effective health system resilience and continued progress in mortality reduction across all age groups.
