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 Korea can expect to live to 85 years compared to 76 in Syria, rising to 86.8 and 80.4 at 65, and to 90.7 and 86.5 at 80 — higher than the 84.6 and 73.4 years calculated at birth.

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

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 Korea, the most common age of death is 89, compared to 82 in Syria. The median age of death is 86.8 in South Korea and 77.7 in Syria, 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 Korea and Syria more than their death rates.
