The top 10 fittest countries in the world – with Britain not making the list

The 10 fittest countries around the world have been ranked based on the life expectancy, weight and fitness of their residents. Taking the prime spot on the list is Japan with an average life expectancy of 84.4 years. What’s more, one Japanese person in every 1,450 is now aged over 100

Japanese centenarians believe their body is a temple that shouldn’t be polluted. Plus, they’re very active people, and their calorific intake to output is always in near balance.

The next two prime spots were taken by Vietnam and South Korea who saw their overweight population measured at only 18.3 percent and 32.4 percent respectively.

Unfortunately, Britain didn’t make the cut and didn’t appear in the top ten fittest places.

Take a look at the full list compiled by Yahoo!Finance in our picture gallery below:
