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 Palau can expect to live to 72.5 years compared to 84.9 in Switzerland, rising to 78.9 and 86.9 at 65, and to 86.2 and 90.1 at 80 — higher than the 69.6 and 84.4 years calculated at birth.

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

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 Palau, the most common age of death is 78, compared to 90 in Switzerland. The median age of death is 73.8 in Palau and 87.2 in Switzerland, 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 Palau and Switzerland more than their death rates.
