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 North Korea can expect to live to 76.6 years compared to 75.1 in Tonga, rising to 81 and 80.6 at 65, and to 86.8 and 87.1 at 80 — higher than the 74 and 73.4 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in North Korea and Tonga.

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 North Korea, the most common age of death is 82, compared to 82 in Tonga. The median age of death is 78.5 in North Korea and 77 in Tonga, 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 North Korea and Tonga more than their death rates.
