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 52.8 years in South Africa and 61.9 in Trinidad and Tobago. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 11.3 healthy years in South Africa and 14.6 in Trinidad and Tobago.

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 South Africa can expect to live to 70.6 years compared to 76.2 in Trinidad and Tobago, rising to 80.7 and 81.2 at 65, and to 88.8 and 86.9 at 80 — higher than the 66.7 and 73.9 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago.

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 South Africa, the most common age of death is 77, compared to 83 in Trinidad and Tobago. The median age of death is 70.8 in South Africa and 78.4 in Trinidad and Tobago, 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 South Africa and Trinidad and Tobago more than their death rates.
