How long do people my age live?
Pick your age to see the average age US women and men your age reach, and the odds of reaching 80, 90 and 100, from the 2024 US life table.
Why your number is higher than 79
US life expectancy was 79.0 years in 2024: 81.4 for women and 76.5 for men. That's the average at birth, and it counts everyone who dies young. Every year you live, you've already passed the ages where some of your birth year died, so your own average age reached goes up. A woman of 65 can expect about 20.8 more years, to 85.8, and a man of 65 about 18.4, to 83.4.
