Life Expectancy in China vs Gambia (1950-2026)

Updated on by Georank team

The average life expectancy at birth is 79 years in China vs 66.5 in the Gambia. China is ranked 52/197 by life expectancy, and the Gambia is 167/197. In China, the life expectancy is 76.4 years for males and 81.8 years for females. In the Gambia, it's 64.7 years for males and 68.2 years for females.

The drop in life expectancy in China in 1959–1961 was caused by mass starvation, disease, and social disruption resulting from the Great Leap Forward’s policy failures, poor agricultural management, and adverse weather, leading to 15–30 million excess deaths.

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 68.6 years in China and 55.8 in the Gambia. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 16.2 healthy years in China and 11.9 in the Gambia.

China vs Gambia life expectancy calculator

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 China vs the Gambia: 80.2 years vs 72.4 at 30, 83.3 vs 79.2 at 65, 88.1 vs 86.1 at 80 — significantly higher than the 79 vs 66.5 years calculated at birth.

Odds of living to age in China vs Gambia

The chart below shows the odds of living to all ages starting from birth. Of the newborn cohort, 91.5% in China and 74% in the Gambia are expected to survive till at least 60 years old, 80.9% and 58.1% will live to 70 years or older, 57.8% and 30.9% to 80+ years, and 20.2% and 5.9% will live past 90 years old.

For longevity rates starting from an age other than 0, use the probability of survival to an age calculator provided above.

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 China and the Gambia 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.
