| life table |
a summary measure of the mortality and survival of a population. Current life tables summarise mortality experience by age of a population at a point in time. Cohort life tables summarise the actual mortality experience of a cohort born at about the same time and followed until all are dead. The e 0 x function derived from a life table is the average number of years of life remaining to people who survive to age x.
