The most commonly used measure is life expectancy at birth (LEB, or in demographic notation e0, where ex denotes the average life remaining at age x). This can be defined in two ways.
On this page, you will find global data and research on life expectancy and related measures of longevity: the probability of death at a given age, the sex gap in life expectancy, lifespan inequality within countries, and more.
Life expectancy in the U.S. changed drastically over the 100-year period from 1900 to 2000. Longer life expectancy comes with changes to our health as we age. Find out more about changes in health and health care needs as we get older to be proactive with your health.
