Life Expectancy with Age


As we age our life expectancy increases, as the chance that we might die before that point has been ruled out. By examining 2004 insurance company life tables, I was able to create this rather interesting graph of the effect. You can easily see that the influence of improved health choices and superior genetics begins to give a significant advantage during the early fifties. Of course, except right after birth, the total years remaining to live steadily declines.
