The life expectancy of people with diabetes, which is 9.3% of the U.S. population, is reduced by roughly 10–20 years. [129] [130] People over 60 years old with Alzheimer's disease have about a 50% life expectancy of 3–10 years. [131]
Arthur C. Clarke in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) has the claim that "Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living", which was roughly accurate at the time of writing.

In actuarial science and demography, a life table (also called a mortality table or actuarial table) is a table which shows, for each age, the probability that a person of that age will die before their next birthday ("probability of death"). In other words, it represents the survivorship of people from a certain population. [1]
The number of foreign born in the 1830s and 1840s are extrapolations. Nearly all population growth up to 1830 was by internal increase; about 98.5% of the population was native-born. By 1850, this had shifted to about 90% native-born. The first significant Catholic immigration started in the mid-1840s.
This table contains supercentenarian claims with either a known death date or no confirmation for more than two years that they were still alive.

A study using the populations of Denmark and Austria (a total of 2,052,680 deaths over the time period) found that although people's life span tended to correlate with their month of birth, there was no consistent birthday effect, and people born in autumn or winter were more likely to die in the months further from their birthday.
