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 Iraq can expect to live to 75.2 years compared to 76 in Syria, rising to 79.7 and 80.4 at 65, and to 86.2 and 86.5 at 80 — higher than the 72.6 and 73.4 years calculated at birth.

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

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 Iraq, the most common age of death is 81, compared to 82 in Syria. The median age of death is 76.7 in Iraq and 77.7 in Syria, 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 Iraq and Syria more than their death rates.
