FAQs
How is life expectancy calculated?
Life expectancy is based on statistical averages from the UN World Population Prospects 2024. It represents the average number of years a person born in a given country can expect to live, adjusted for gender.
Can I actually live longer than the life expectancy?
Absolutely. Life expectancy is a statistical average. Many people live well beyond the average. Factors like diet, exercise, healthcare access, genetics, and lifestyle choices all influence individual lifespan.
Why do women live longer than men?
Globally, women live 4-7 years longer than men on average. This is attributed to biological factors (hormonal protection, two X chromosomes), behavioral differences (lower risk-taking, less smoking/drinking), and social factors.
