Give the example. How to compute the life expectancy.?
To compute life expectancy, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the current age of the person.
2. Access mortality data for the population group you are interested in (e.g., national or regional statistics).
3. Find the life table corresponding to the person's gender and year of birth (or nearest available year).
4. Locate the row in the life table that corresponds to the person's current age.
5. Identify the remaining life expectancy value from the selected row. This value represents the average number of additional years a person of that age can expect to live.
For example, suppose a person is currently 60 years old and you want to calculate their life expectancy. You consult the appropriate life table and find that for a 60-year-old individual, the remaining life expectancy is 22 years. This means that, on average, a person who is currently 60 can expect to live an additional 22 years.
It's important to note that life expectancy is an average estimation and may vary for individuals based on various factors such as lifestyle, genetics, and socioeconomic status.
