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.

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 Marshall Islands can expect to live to 71 years compared to 67.2 in Nigeria, rising to 78.2 and 77.2 at 65, and to 85.9 and 85.2 at 80 — higher than the 67.3 and 55 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in the Marshall Islands and Nigeria.

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 Marshall Islands, the most common age of death is 77, compared to 0 in Nigeria. The median age of death is 72 in the Marshall Islands and 64.3 in Nigeria, 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 Marshall Islands and Nigeria more than their death rates.
