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 73.1 in Uganda, rising to 80.7 and 81.1 at 65, and to 88.8 and 88.5 at 80 — higher than the 66.7 and 68.9 years calculated at birth.

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

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 68.7% of newborns in South Africa and 74.4% in Uganda are expected to live past 60, 51.6% and 56.9% past 70, 30.2% and 35.4% past 80, and only 11.3% and 13% 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 South Africa, the most common age of death is 77, compared to 0 in Uganda. The median age of death is 70.8 in South Africa and 73.3 in Uganda, 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 Uganda more than their death rates.
