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 lives. It's a snapshot reflecting mortality rates in a given year that does not account for any future changes in those 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 73.4 years in Japan and 47.4 in Somalia. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 20.4 healthy years in Japan and 9.46 in Somalia.

Japan vs Somalia life expectancy calculator

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

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 Japan can expect to live to 85.6 years compared to 70.2 in Somalia, rising to 87.8 and 78.5 at 65, and to 91.1 and 85.9 at 80 — higher than the 85.1 and 59.3 years calculated at birth.

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

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 Japan, the most common age of death is 91, compared to 0 in Somalia. The median age of death is 88.1 in Japan and 69 in Somalia, 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 Japan and Somalia more than their death rates.
