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.

Healthy life expectancy at birth, defined by the World Health Organization as the average number of years a person can expect to live in full health, is 57.5 years in Papua New Guinea and 47.4 in Somalia. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 12 healthy years in Papua New Guinea and 9.46 in Somalia.

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 Papua New Guinea can expect to live to 71 years compared to 70.2 in Somalia, rising to 77.9 and 78.5 at 65, and to 85.7 and 85.9 at 80 — higher than the 66.5 and 59.3 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Papua New Guinea and Somalia.

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 Papua New Guinea, the most common age of death is 0, compared to 0 in Somalia. The median age of death is 71.7 in Papua New Guinea and 69 in Somalia, 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 Papua New Guinea and Somalia more than their death rates.
