| life expectancy |
is the average (median) number of years that a person can expect to live but is usually based on contemporary death rates which may be higher than those experienced by future cohorts, so tends to underestimate life expectancy. May be calculated from birth (in which case it is dominated by infant mortality in poorer countries), or from other ages.

| 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.
