Background	Health issues in Egypt includeTyphoid Fever and Hepatitis A. However, there is also an issuer with the overall <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_bir_rat_cru_per_1000_peo-crude-per-1-000-people">crude birth rate</a>, which stood to just over 25 births per 1,000 of the population. In fact, the nation's <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/time.php?stat=hea_fer_rat_tot_bir_per_wom&country=eg">total fertility rate</a> has plummeted over the last half century, with an average of 7.03 births to Egyptian women in 1960 falling to 3.1 births in 2005. Meanwhile, life expectancy rates remain low too, with a 63.9% chance that an Egyptian <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_pro_of_rea_65_mal-health-probability-reaching-65-male">male reaching the age of 65</a> - some way of the 85% chance Israeli men are given.	Despite its rather conservative image, Japan has the 4th highest number of legal <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_abo-health-abortions">abortions</a> in the world, with 343,024 operations registered. Russia leads the table with 2.77 million cases, with the US 2nd with 1.21 million, and India 3rd with 596,345. In fact, Japan had the 6th highest rate of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_tee_pre-health-teenage-pregnancy">teenage pregnancies</a> in 1998, with 17,501 infants born to mothers under the age of 20 - though that figure is somewhat shorter than the US's rate of almost half a million.
