Japan
The text states that Japan has the highest average life expectancy in the world at 83 years.
Infact verdict: Mostly True (75/100).
The claim that Japan has the highest average life expectancy in the world at 83 years is supported by evidence indicating Japan's life expectancy is indeed among the highest globally, with recent data suggesting it is around 84.4 years. However, it is not definitively the highest, as it is noted as the second highest in some sources. Thus, while Japan has a very high life expectancy, the claim of being the highest is slightly incorrect. Current reliable sources suggest Japan's life expectancy is extremely high, though not definitively the highest.

The evidence indicates that Japan's life expectancy is among the highest globally, with current data placing it at approximately 84.4 years, making it extremely high but not definitively the highest worldwide. WHO and Statista sources corroborate this but suggest Japan is second to some other regions depending on the year and measurement methods.
