Globally, average life expectancy from birth has risen from 67.6 years in 2000 to 72.75 years in 2020. Of the BRICS countries, life expectancy in Brazil and China has been above the global average during this time, while India's and South Africa's have consistently been below, and Russia's was below until 2017. Life expectancy from birth has risen in all five BRICS countries over these two decades, although there was a drop of almost three years in South Africa between 2000 and 2005, due to the prevalence of HIV/AIDS, and a slight drop of almost half a year in Russia from 2000 to 2003, due to the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles and alcohol/substance abuse.
