The impact on life expectancy depends on the individual condition, [9] but is usually severe without treatment. [1] [3] It's estimated only 25–29% of people affected survive to adulthood, and only 10% to the age of 50. [1] The median life expectancy is around 9 years, and the average life expectancy is 16.3 years. [1]

The normal life expectancy for 60 to 70 years old is 23 to 15 years; for 90 years old it is 4.5 years. [227] Following AD diagnosis it ranges from 7 to 10 years for those in their 60s and early 70s (a loss of 13 to 8 years), to only about 3 years or less (a loss of 1.5 years) for those in their 90s.
This research lead to improve pain identification and treatment across settings. [37] In today's world individuals are living longer. According to the United Nations World Populations Prospect (2020), [38] the average life expectancy is 78.93 years which is a 0.16% increase since 2018. With the elderly population becoming more popular, there is ...

By watching over the life expectancy of any year(s) being studied, epidemiologists can see if diseases are contributing to the overall increase in mortality rates. [13] Epidemiologists are able to help demographers understand the sudden decline of life expectancy by linking it to the health problems that are arising in certain populations. [13]
