Russia once again fell in the ranking of countries with the highest male mortality. For this indicator, it ranks fifth in the world.

First place in male mortality is Mongolia – here, 38.8% of men not expected to live to 70. In the second place the island nation of Fiji, on the third – Kazakhstan, the fourth – Turkmenistan.
