Life Expectancy

Life expectancy is the statistically estimated average number of years an individual within a specific population is expected to live, based on current mortality rates and demographic factors such as age, gender, and socioeconomic status.

It reflects the overall health and living conditions of a population and can vary significantly due to factors like healthcare quality, lifestyle, economic stability, and environmental conditions. Life expectancy is a key measure in public health and gerontology, often used to gauge advancements in healthcare and societal well-being over time.
