Life expectancy at age 0, by sex and calendar year of birth, based on cohort life tables (table 7).
Life expectancy on the vertical axis ranges from 40 years to 90 years. Years of birth on the horizontal axis range from 1900 to 2000.
The data are depicted by a solid line. There are two lines one labeled male and the other female. The female line remaines above the male line across the chart. Both lines form a similar pattern, beginning in 1900 at 58.3 years for females and 51.5 years for males, then generally increasing to end in 2000 at 84.6 years for females and 79.7 years for males.
