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.

Taiwan life expectancy calculator

This chart displays the probability of dying at any given age, as mortality rates vary throughout a lifetime.

In Taiwan, the risk of dying is lowest at age 9 and increases afterward. The annual chance of dying is 0.29% in the birth year, 0.06% at age 30, 0.67% at 60, and 4.57% at 80.

Aging is often defined as the increasing probability of death with age. If a 20-year-old in Taiwan never aged and faced the same risk of dying every year, their life expectancy would be 2,545 years — 1,877 for males and 4,154 for females.

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.

In Taiwan, a 65-year-old has a total life expectancy of 85.4 years, rising to 86.4 at 70, 87.8 at 75, and 89.6 at 80 — all higher than the 81.1 years calculated at birth.

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

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 Taiwan, the most probable age of death — the age at which the highest number of deaths occur — is 87 for both sexes combined, 85 for males, and 89 for females. Vertical lines mark the median age of death: 81.9 for men, 86.5 for women, and 84.3 combined, 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 and reflect Taiwan's demographics more than its death rate.
