Life expectancy is often mistaken for the average lifespan of an adult. However, an adult has already survived the causes of early-age mortality and can expect to live longer than the figure calculated at birth.

A 30-year-old in Burkina Faso can expect to live to 70.2 years compared to 81 in the United States, rising to 77.4 and 85.2 at 65, and to 84.8 and 89.7 at 80 — higher than the 61.6 and 79.8 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Burkina Faso and the United States.

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 68.5% of newborns in Burkina Faso and 89.2% in the United States are expected to live past 60, 50.9% and 79.5% past 70, 21.9% and 61.1% past 80, and only 2.05% and 28.1% past 90.

This chart shows the number of deaths by age up to 100 for 3 cohorts of 100,000 newborns each — male, female, and both combined — illustrating how expected mortality is distributed throughout life.

In Burkina Faso, the most common age of death is 0, compared to 89 in the United States. The median age of death is 70.4 in Burkina Faso and 83.9 in the United States, meaning only half of each cohort is expected to live past that age.

Note that this chart does not show rates per 100,000 population, as those would be skewed by age structure differences and reflect the demographics of Burkina Faso and the United States more than their death rates.
