Since 2000, there has been a continuous increase in [[life expectancy]], except for 2005, a year in which there was a high level of general and infant mortality. In 2013, this indicator recorded the maximum value of the given period – 71.85 years, including men – 68.1 and women – 75.5 years.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.statistica.md/newsview.php?l=ro&idc=168&id=4465| title = Durata medie a vietii оn Republica Moldova оn anul 2013| date = 17 July 2014| access-date = 26 July 2018| archive-date = 26 July 2018| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180726233851/http://www.statistica.md/newsview.php?l=ro&idc=168&id=4465| url-status = live}}</ref> The significant increase in life expectancy was influenced by the decrease in the overall mortality rate to 10.7 deaths per 1000 inhabitants, and the infant death rate, which constituted 9.4 deaths under one year per 1,000 live births.
