Vietnam has the 2nd highest life expectancy in ASEAN+6 at 74.8 years. is there any correlation? Do CO2 levels matter when it comes to the overall population’s health? What role does pollution play in respiratory diseases? Does pollution correlate with cancer? ... Or does lavish living? Do Singaporean’s live longer because they have a higher standard of living, which gives an increased chance of being diagnosed with cancer?
