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 Nigeria can expect to live to 67.2 years compared to 78.9 in Sri Lanka, rising to 77.2 and 82.6 at 65, and to 85.2 and 87.9 at 80 — higher than the 55 and 78 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Nigeria and Sri Lanka.

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 56% of newborns in Nigeria and 90.3% in Sri Lanka are expected to live past 60, 39.6% and 78.3% past 70, 17.1% and 53.5% past 80, and only 2.24% and 17.4% past 90.

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 Nigeria, the most common age of death is 0, compared to 85 in Sri Lanka. The median age of death is 64.3 in Nigeria and 81 in Sri Lanka, 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 Nigeria and Sri Lanka more than their death rates.
