    Objectives—This report presents complete period life tables for the United States by race, Hispanic origin, and sex, based on age specific death rates in 2012.

The methodology used to estimate the 2012 life tables was first implemented with data year 2008.

From 2011 to 2012, life expectancy at birth increased for both males (from 76.3 to 76.4) and females (81.1 to 81.2), for the white population (79.0 to 79.1), the black population (75.3 to 75.5), the Hispanic population (81.8 to 81.9), the non-Hispanic white population (78.7 to 78.9), and the non-Hispanic black population (75.0 to 75.1).
