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 Iceland can expect to live to 83.7 years compared to 76.6 in North Korea, rising to 85.8 and 81 at 65, and to 89.2 and 86.8 at 80 — higher than the 83.3 and 74 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Iceland and North Korea.

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 Iceland, the most common age of death is 88, compared to 82 in North Korea. The median age of death is 85.9 in Iceland and 78.5 in North Korea, 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 Iceland and North Korea more than their death rates.
