Life expectancy
Your life expectancy is the age that you are expected to live to, based on your age now. As you get older, your chances of living to an older age improve.
The following figures show the average life expectancy at different ages. Half the population will live longer than this and half the population won't live this long.
Expected lifetime:
| Age today | Men | Women |
| 65 | 82 | 85 |
| 75 | 85 | 88 |
| 85 | 91 | 92 |
| 90 | 94 | 95 |
Note: The expected lifetimes shown above have been rounded up to the next whole age.
