Life expectancy in Belgium was 40 years in 1800, and over the course of the next 220 years, it is expected to increase by more than double, to 81.4 years in 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout Belgium's history, there were several times where the rate deviated from its previous trajectory. The most noticeable changes occurred because of both World Wars, and also because of the Spanish Influenza epidemic that followed WWI.
