Country Longevity
Ranking List

Longevity Lifestyle Rating™ (LLR™): The LongevityVisa Country Rankings (Top 100)

This chart ranks countries using the Longevity Lifestyle Rating™ (LLR™)—a practical, lifestyle-first scoring system built to answer one question:

Where does day-to-day life make it easiest to live longer and stay healthier?

Unlike most “best healthcare” lists, LLR™ puts lifestyle exposures front and center—the factors that quietly shape your biology every day: what people eat, how much they move without trying, how stressed they feel, how common smoking is, and how supportive the environment is for healthy living.

How LLR™ is calculated (0–10 ratings):

  • Diet — whole foods, plant-forward patterns, low ultra-processed food exposure

  • Stress & Social Cohesion — chronic stress load, social support, smoking prevalence

  • Daily Movement — walkability, cycling, transit use, “NEAT” (non-exercise activity)

  • Environment & Design — air quality, green space, noise, urban design that supports health

  • Healthcare Access — access and reliability of essential care (important, but not the main driver)

Each country includes:

  • Life expectancy

  • LLR™ score for lifestyle-based longevity potential

  • Category ratings and key reasons explaining the scored
