The current age distribution of deaths is dominated by the middle-age population, ages 25-64, driven by the opioid epidemic.
An age-specific mortality rate is a mortality rate limited to a particular age group. The numerator is the number of deaths in that age group; the denominator is the number of persons in that age group in the population.
Key statistics
Life expectancy at birth was 81.3 years for males and 85.4 years for females in 2019-21. The Australian Capital Territory had the highest male (82.7 years) and female (86.3 years) life expectancy of the states and territories.
Common causes of death in people age 20 to 24 in the United States include congenital (present at birth) health issues, accidents, and illnesses.
What Is The Primary Cause Of Teenage Deaths? According to the CDC, the primary cause of teenage deaths is injuries sustained from accidents. Accidents are responsible for almost one-half of all adolescent deaths.
Females have lower mortality rates than males in these age groups. Injuries (including road traffic injuries and drowning), violence, self-harm, infectious diseases such as respiratory infections and maternal conditions (complications for pregnancy) are leading causes of death among adolescents and young adults.
This isolation also reduced deaths from influenza and other viruses that travellers normally bring in from overseas, he says. Another reason for Australia's high life expectancy is that its health system “ranks quite highly across a number of areas compared with many other countries”, says Adair.
Now Australia has 3700 people aged over 100. By 2050, Australia will have over 50,000 people aged 100 and over.
Individuals should plan for living well beyond the average – to age 95 or even 100 – especially those in good health. For non-smokers in excellent health, there is almost one in three chance that women will live to age 95 or beyond and one in five chance that men will live to age 95 or beyond.
Cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of death globally.
Table ranking "History's Most Deadly Events": Influenza pandemic (1918-19) 20-40 million deaths; black death/plague (1348-50), 20-25 million deaths, AIDS pandemic (through 2000) 21.8 million deaths, World War II (1937-45), 15.9 million deaths, and World War I (1914-18) 9.2 million deaths.
Older adults are at highest risk of getting very sick from COVID-19. More than 81% of COVID-19 deaths occur in people over age 65. The number of deaths among people over age 65 is 97 times higher than the number of deaths among people ages 18-29 years.
Chart and table of U.S. life expectancy from 1950 to 2023. United Nations projections are also included through the year 2100. The current life expectancy for U.S. in 2023 is 79.11 years, a 0.08% increase from 2022. The life expectancy for U.S. in 2022 was 79.05 years, a 0.08% increase from 2021.
For women and men, life expectancy of 79.1 years and 73.2 years reflects a long-apparent, significant gap.

Midlife refers to the middle years of life or middle age, which ranges from approximately age 40 to age 65.
For the purpose of population projections the long-term mortality assumption is that life expectancy at birth will increase from the 1999-2001 level of 77.0 years for males and 82.4 years for females to 84.1 years for males and 87.6 years for females in 2050-2052.
Japan. The highest life expectancy in the world is found in Japan, where the average lifespan is 84 years. It is thought that the Japanese diet, intense physical exercise, and easy access to high-quality healthcare are important causes.
Health. In China, the average life expectancy is 76 years (74 years for men, 81 years for women) as of 2020. In Australia, that number is 83 years (81 years for men, 85 years for women) as of 2022.
Here's why American men die younger than women on average and how to fix it. Women's life expectancy was 79 years in the U.S. in 2021, while men's was about 73, according to CDC data.
Sudden death in young adults is rare, with an incidence of 0.8-6.2 per 100,000 in various studies, mostly of cardiac origin [5].
Your heart stops beating. Your brain stops. Other vital organs, including your kidneys and liver, stop. All your body systems powered by these organs shut down, too, so that they're no longer capable of carrying on the ongoing processes understood as, simply, living.
Infants (children under 1 year) had the highest rate of death in all jurisdictions in 2020, accounting for 59% of all child deaths in Australia. Rates of infant deaths from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and undetermined causes ranged between 0.16 and 0.52 per 1,000 live births.
