The “Life Expectancy Table” is a demographic refer The “Life Expectancy Table” is a demographic reference chart that presents the average number of additional years a person can expect to live at every age, separately for males and females. The table lists life expectancy values beginning at birth (age 0) and continuing through age 119, showing how expected remaining lifespan decreases steadily as age increases.
According to the table, females consistently live longer than males at every age. For example, at birth, males have a life expectancy of 74.14 years, while females have 79.45 years. At age 50, a male can expect to live 27.85 more years, while a female can expect 31.75 more years. Even at advanced ages, women maintain a longevity advantage—for instance, at age 90, males have about 3.70 remaining years, while females have 4.47.
The table’s structure demonstrates a fundamental principle of longevity statistics: life expectancy is conditional on reaching a certain age. As individuals survive childhood and adulthood, their expected remaining years often become longer than what the life expectancy at birth might suggest. The values gradually decline but still show meaningful remaining lifespan even at later ages due to improving health care and survivorship trends.
Overall, this table serves as a clear, numerical snapshot of age-specific survival expectations, illustrating gender differences, mortality patterns, and the progressive decline in remaining life years from infancy to extreme old age.... |
