Life expectancy in New Zealand was just over 34 in the year 1870, and over the course of the next 150 years, it is expected to have increased to just over 82 by the year 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased along a gradual curve throughout New Zealand's history, there was a slight dip in the late 1910s, as a result of the First World War and following influenza epidemic. Apart from this, there were no anomalies that reduced life expectancy throughout this 150 year period.
