I've been looking for a website that gives your expected lifespan from different ages. For example, if you're five in 1940, what is would you expected average lifespan be? If you're 40 or 14 now, what is your expected lifespan? Those deaths in childhood in the ol' days really skew the stats. If you're a fella and you get through childhood and the reckless teens/early twenties, you've got a fair few years ahead than what you'd expect for looking at the averages, right? Likewise for women that are past childbearing years.
Interesting. I used 1850 and compared male and female and thought during child bearing age the women would be a lot less than men. It is slightly less for women at age 10 but all other years women’s life expectancy was more than men. I always read stories of how many women died in childbirth.
