Life expectancy at birth in French Polynesia stands at approximately 77 to 78 years overall, with women typically living longer than men. Female life expectancy hovers around 80 to 81 years, while male life expectancy is generally a few years lower, ranging near 74 to 76 years. These figures place French Polynesia well above the global average and broadly in line with many developed nations, reflecting the territory's relatively high standard of living as an overseas collectivity of France.
