US life expectancy at 65 up 1 year from 1999 to 2004

CDC QuickStats



Posted: Feb 22, 2007

Meaning the U.S. is at 20% of escape velocity. However longevity gains were not shared equally by gender or ethnicity (or social class, but that’s not a term Americans know). During 1999-2004, life expectancy at age 65 years increased by 1.0 year for the overall U.S. population, 1.1 years for white men, 0.8 years for white women, 0.9 years for black men, and 1.3 years for black women.
