Urban living and marriage could conspire in improving the quantity and quality of life among new generation of Australians, according to the latest analytic report issued on Friday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Being married and if applicable, getting a place in major Australian cities raise the chances of enjoying a better and longer life, according to the new ABS report.

"Married people are less likely to participate in risky behaviour and more likely to nurture each other's health through promoting good diet and physical care," the new ABS life table data suggested.

The new study also noted that the healthier Australians become the likelier that they will acquire a suitable partner to accompany them for a more fruitful and comfortable lifestyle.

The ABS findings highlighted too the increasing trend in which married individuals appear to enjoy longer life compared to those who elected lives without regular and constant companionship.

The question of death also comes into play as the study observed that overall, Australians are living much longer, with women enjoying an average of five more years against men, as opposed to those who were born some 20 years ago.

For most females that were born this year, the ABS study projected that they will live at least through 85 summers, with the possibility of another decade of extension, while males who came out in the same period are expected to reach the age of 79.

Being indigenous, the study said, shaves off some living years, with indigenous girls getting less 10 years while indigenous boys shedding at least 11 years from their estimated time line.

Regardless of the origin and way they live, Australians today benefit from better nutrition and health care, which allow them to live longer as ABS reported that the country's death rate for the past two decades improved from 8.6 to 7 for every 1000.

And if anyone aims to live beyond 80, for men they should settle to the Gold Coast or Melbourne where the death rate is the lowest in terms of national statistics and where males in their 80s are expected to continue flourishing.

As for women, setting their sights on Queensland, especially in the areas of Gold and Sunshine coasts, should bring them more years ahead, possibly getting them through 85 years and more.

Also, the ABS analysis suggested that natural-born Australians are more likely to enjoy longer lives that those who were born overseas.
