Expectation of life

Japanese: 平均余命 - へいきんよめい(英語表記)expectation of life
Expectation of life
The expected number of years that a person age x can survive is called life expectancy at age x. Life expectancy at age x is calculated with certain rules by creating a life table from the age-specific mortality rate of the observed population. A life table shows the number of survivors to a given age and the average life expectancy at a given age, by sex, under the assumption that 100,000 people born at the same time die at the day, month, and age-specific mortality rate of the observed population. It usually consists of functions of (1) mortality rate, (2) survival rate, (3) number of survivors, (4) stationary population (steady-state population), (5) number of years lived, and (6) average life expectancy. There are complete life tables, which are created based on the vital statistics (final numbers) and census population of the annual census conducted every five years, and simplified life tables, which are created using vital statistics (approximate numbers) and estimated population.
