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 Namibia can expect to live to 72 years compared to 71.9 in Zambia, rising to 79.9 and 77.9 at 65, and to 87.4 and 85.3 at 80 — higher than the 67.8 and 66.9 years calculated at birth.

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

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 Namibia, the most common age of death is 0, compared to 0 in Zambia. The median age of death is 72.7 in Namibia and 73.1 in Zambia, 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 Namibia and Zambia more than their death rates.
