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 Cameroon can expect to live to 71 years compared to 67.2 in Nigeria, rising to 78.2 and 77.2 at 65, and to 85.7 and 85.2 at 80 — higher than the 64.5 and 55 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Cameroon and Nigeria.

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 71.6% of newborns in Cameroon and 56% in Nigeria are expected to live past 60, 54% and 39.6% past 70, 25.5% and 17.1% past 80, and only 4.16% and 2.24% 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 Cameroon, the most common age of death is 0, compared to 0 in Nigeria. The median age of death is 71.6 in Cameroon and 64.3 in Nigeria, 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 Cameroon and Nigeria more than their death rates.
