People in Japan are fortunate to not suffer the health problems of the average 65-year-old until they are 76, a study has found.
This is 30 years more of healthy life than those who live in Papua New Guinea, who will begin to suffer ill health when they're just 46.
The results are from the first study of its kind, which evaluated the rate at which people develop age-related diseases across the world.
Britons won't experience the problems of a 65-year-old until they are 70, while Americans aren't far behind on 68 years.
A study published in The Lancet shows at what age people across the globe will experience the health problems of an average 65-year-old. Japan ranked the highest at 76.1 years
Dr Angela Chang, from the University of Washington, said the findings reveal the wide variations in how well people age across the globe.
She said: 'These disparate findings show that increased life expectancy at older ages can either be an opportunity or a threat to the overall welfare of populations, depending on the ageing-related health problems the population experiences regardless of chronological age.
'Age-related health problems can lead to early retirement, a smaller workforce, and higher health spending.
'Government leaders and other stakeholders influencing health systems need to consider when people begin suffering the negative effects of aging.'
Researchers first identified 92 age-related diseases, including 13 cardiovascular, 35 cancers, six chronic respiratory diseases, three diabetes and kidney diseases and six injuries.
They measured how much of a burden these diseases had on the amount of health years lived using global average 65-year-olds as a reference.
Even among high-income countries, the differences are wide: 76-year-olds in Japan have the same level of age-related disease burden as 69-year-olds in the US, the authors wrote.
The study of 195 countries was published in the international medical journal The Lancet Public Health.
It found that in 2017, people in 108 countries developed problems associated with ageing before they hit the age at which it would be expected.
Whereas those in 87 countries experienced slower onset of ageing.
Globally, the most amount of deaths and healthy years lost caused by age-related diseases were those caused by ischaemic heart disease, brain haemorrhage, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
The authors said: 'Understanding which factors contributed to the successful delay, such as high physical activity, lower smoking rate, and better access to care, could shed light on how to reduce the projected burden of population ageing.'

Main photo article People in Japan are fortunate to not suffer the health problems of the average 65-year-old until they are 76, a study has found.
This is 30 years more of healthy life than those who live in Papua New Guinea, who will begin to suffer ill health when they’re just 46.
The results are from ...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
