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 China can expect to live to 80.2 years compared to 71.8 in Madagascar, rising to 83.3 and 79 at 65, and to 88.1 and 86 at 80 — higher than the 79 and 64.3 years calculated at birth.

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

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 China, the most common age of death is 85, compared to 0 in Madagascar. The median age of death is 82.3 in China and 72.2 in Madagascar, 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 China and Madagascar more than their death rates.
