How have life expectancy rates changed since 1950?
Life expectancy is the expected number of years of life remaining at a given age. It is denoted by, which means the average number of subsequent years of life for someone now aged, according to a particular mortality experience. Because life expectancy is an average, a particular person may well die many years before or many years after their "expected" survival. The term "maximum life span" has a quite different meaning. The "median life span" is also a different concept although fairly similar to life expectancy numerically in most developed
In the 1950s, the life expectancy was 68.2 years at birth. Now its around 77 years.
Males tend to die younger bringing down the averages. The average 65-year-old woman today can expect to live another 19.8 years or a total of 84.8 years. If she makes it to 75, she can expect an additional 12.6 years or a total of 87.6 years. Men don't do quite as well, but the difference shrinks as they age. A 75-year-old man can expect, on average, another 10.5 years or 85.5 years total.
