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 the DR Congo can expect to live to 71 years compared to 73 in Mauritania, rising to 78.6 and 78.7 at 65, and to 85.9 and 85.9 at 80 — higher than the 62.4 and 69.2 years calculated at birth.

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

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 68% of newborns in the DR Congo and 79.5% in Mauritania are expected to live past 60, 52% and 61.3% past 70, 26.3% and 30.8% past 80, and only 4.61% and 5.36% 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 the DR Congo, the most common age of death is 0, compared to 78 in Mauritania. The median age of death is 70.9 in the DR Congo and 74.1 in Mauritania, 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 the DR Congo and Mauritania more than their death rates.
