Life expectancy in Sweden was 36 in the year 1765, and over the course of the next 255 years, it is expected to have increased to 82.6 by 2020. Although life expectancy has generally increased throughout Sweden's history, there was a lot of fluctuation around the turn of the nineteenth century due to The Napoleonic Wars and First Cholera Epidemic, and again in the 1910s due to the Spanish Flu Epidemic.
