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 life. It is a snapshot reflecting mortality rates at a given year that does not account for any future changes in these 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 45.4 years in the Central African Republic and 53 in Zambia. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 9.03 healthy years in the Central African Republic and 11.3 in Zambia.

Remaining life expectancy by current age

Life expectancy is often mistaken for the average lifespan of an adult. An adult has already survived early-age mortality causes and is expected to have a longer lifespan than calculated from birth.

The life expectancy from current ages in the Central African Republic vs Zambia: 67.2 years vs 71.9 at 30, 77.9 vs 77.9 at 65, 86.3 vs 85.3 at 80 — significantly higher than the 58.2 vs 66.9 years calculated at birth.

The chart above shows the number of deaths by age and gender per a 100,000 cohort of newborns, illustrating the distribution of expected mortality throughout life.

Note that the graph above does not represent rates per 100,000 population, as this would be skewed by age distribution and reveal more about the Central African Republic and Zambia demographics than the death rate. It also does not represent rates per 100,000 people in an age group, as this would be just the probability of death.
