Life expectancy increases in United States. In 2013 the life expectancy in United States increased to 78.84 years. That year, the life expectancy for women was 81.30 years and for men 76.50 years.

Life expectancy for white females in the U.S. has declined slightly, a new government report shows, while other groups remained steady or increased. White women lost 0.1 years -- or about 5 weeks -- from their predicted lifespan from 2013 to 2014, according to the numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The group has an average life expectancy of 81.1 years, down from 81.2. Though that difference may seem small, experts say it is concerning when looking at past trends.
