Detailed explanation-1: -Schofield, between 1781 and 1851, life expectancy at birth rose from thirty-five years to forty years, a 15 percent increase. Although this increase was modest compared with what was to come, it was nevertheless substantial. The research of economic historians, then, has altered the old standard-of-living debate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Changes in Life Expectancy Each year a person lives means they have survived multiple potential causes of death. This means that life expectancy actually can increase with age. If that person lived to 75 (in 2018), their life expectancy increased to 87.3-8.6 years longer than the average child born in 2018.
Detailed explanation-3: -Our life expectancy varies depending on our current age, sex, race and ethnicity, and where in the US we live. Unfortunately, this new report shows a startling rise in death rates and decline in longevity.
Detailed explanation-4: -Between 1960 and 2015, life expectancy for the total popula-tion in the United States increased by almost 10 years from 69.7 years in 1960 to 79.4 years in 2015. Looking ahead, gains to total life expectancy are projected to increase only 6.1 years from 2016 to 2060 (Figure 1).
