Definitions
- 95 percent range: 95% range.
- 95% range: 95% range.
- Centenarians per 100,000 people: Amount of centenarians per 100,000 people in each country. Results were compiled by the UN, using estimates from 1950-2008.
- Inequality adjusted index: Inequality-adjusted Human Development Index.
- Life expectancy at birth > Total: Life expectancy measures how long on average people would live based on a given set of age-specific death rates. However, the actual age-specific death rates of any particular birth cohort cannot be known in advance. If age-specific death rates are falling (as has been the case over the past decades in OECD countries), actual life spans will be higher than life expectancy calculated with current death rates.
- Men: Life expectancy for men.
- Women: Life expectancy for women.
