Today the life expectancy of a 50-year old has increased to 83. And another important change can be studied in this chart: health inequality decreased hugely. Look by how much life expectancy differed by age in 1845 â from 40 years for newborns to 79 for 70-year olds. Today this span is much smaller â from 81 to 86.
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.
