Life expectancy

The results suggest that the life expectancy of the sample size has increased overall from the years ranging from 1987 to 2008.

Introduction: In order to understand the concept of life expectancy, scientists use life tables to calculate age-specific life expectancies. Life expectancy is the average number of years that an individual of a given age is expected to live into the future. A life table is defined as an age-specific account of mortality (Smith, 1955).

Influenced by genetic, environmental, gender, and ethnicity factors, one's longevity endures the strife of life (Jennings, 2010).
