Life expectancy is the average age of death for a hypothetical cohort of newborns if they experienced the age-specific mortality rates of one particular year throughout their entire lives. It's a snapshot reflecting mortality rates in a given year that does not account for any future changes in those rates.

Healthy life expectancy at birth, defined by the World Health Organization as the average number of years a person can expect to live in full health, is 63.8 years in Cape Verde and 53.2 in the DR Congo. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 14.4 healthy years in Cape Verde and 11.5 in the DR Congo.

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 Cape Verde can expect to live to 78 years compared to 71 in the DR Congo, rising to 82 and 78.6 at 65, and to 87.2 and 85.9 at 80 — higher than the 76.6 and 62.4 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Cape Verde and the DR Congo.

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 Cape Verde, the most common age of death is 83, compared to 0 in the DR Congo. The median age of death is 80.1 in Cape Verde and 70.9 in the DR Congo, 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 Cape Verde and the DR Congo more than their death rates.
