Definitions

Birth rate > Crude > Per 1,000 people: Crude birth rate indicates the number of live births occurring during the year, per 1,000 population estimated at midyear. Subtracting the crude death rate from the crude birth rate provides the rate of natural increase, which is equal to the population growth rate in the absence of migration.
Births and maternity > Average age of mother at childbirth: Average age of mother at first childbirth.
Births and maternity > Future births: Mid-range estimate for country's population increase due to births from five years prior to the given year. For example, from 2095 to 2100, India's population is expected to rise by 16,181 people due to births. Estimates are from the UN Population Division.
Births and maternity > Total fertility rate: Total fertility rate.
Hospital beds > Per 1,000 people: Hospital beds include inpatient beds available in public, private, general, and specialized hospitals and rehabilitation centers. In most cases beds for both acute and chronic care are included.
Human height > Average female height: Average female height.
Human height > Average male height: Average male height.
Life expectancy at birth > Total population: The average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.
Life expectancy at birth, female > Years: Life expectancy at birth, female (years). Life expectancy at birth indicates the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout its life.

Obesity rates are defined as the percentage of the population with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 30. The BMI is a single number that evaluates an individual's weight status in relation to height (weight/height2, with weight in kilograms and height in metres). For Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States, figures are based on health examinations, rather than self-reported information. Obesity estimates derived from health examinations are generally higher and more reliable than those coming from self-reports, because they preclude any misreporting of people's height and weight. However, health examinations are only conducted regularly in a few countries (OECD).

Background	Despite a reputation for consuming fine wine and even finer food, French people are quite healthy when compared to the rest of the world. <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity">Obesity</a> is condition that affects only 9.4% of its population, far lower than leaders US (30.6%), Mexico (24.2%) and the UK (23%). Its rate of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_hea_dis_dea-health-heart-disease-deaths">heart disease deaths per capita</a> is amongst the lowest in developed nations, with 39.8 deaths per 100,000 of the population. Even if they do feel unwell, there is no shortage of physicians to see about it, with the 3rd highest rate of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_phy_per_1000_peo-physicians-per-1-000-people&date=2004">physicians per capita</a> in the world, 3.37 per 1,000 people.	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.
