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.

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 the United States can expect to live to 81 years compared to 84.2 in the Vatican, rising to 85.2 and 86 at 65, and to 89.7 and 89.9 at 80 — higher than the 79.8 and 83.4 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in the United States and the Vatican.

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 the United States, the most common age of death is 89, compared to 88 in the Vatican. The median age of death is 83.9 in the United States and 85.7 in the Vatican, 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 the United States and the Vatican more than their death rates.
