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 55.8 years in the Gambia and 69.5 in Portugal. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 11.9 healthy years in the Gambia and 18.2 in Portugal.

Gambia vs Portugal life expectancy calculator

This life expectancy calculator assesses the odds of living to 100, 95, 90, and below based on the current age for both males and females in the Gambia and Portugal, also providing mean and median age of death. The calculations are based on the 2026 life tables (actuarial tables) from the UN World Population Prospects.

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 Gambia vs Portugal: 72.4 years vs 83.4 at 30, 79.2 vs 86.2 at 65, 86.1 vs 89.7 at 80 — significantly higher than the 66.5 vs 82.9 years calculated at birth.

Odds of living to age in Gambia vs Portugal

The chart below shows the odds of living to all ages starting from birth. Of the newborn cohort, 74% in the Gambia and 93.4% in Portugal are expected to survive till at least 60 years old, 58.1% and 86.1% will live to 70 years or older, 30.9% and 69.8% to 80+ years, and 5.9% and 32.4% will live past 90 years old.

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 Gambia and Portugal 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.
