Description:
The life tables in this report are current life tables for the United States based on age-specific death rates in 1999. Data used to prepare these life tables are 1999 final mortality statistics; July 1, 1999, population estimates; and data from the Medicare program. Presented are complete life tables by age, race, and sex. In 1999 the overall expectation of life at birth was 76.7 years, unchanged from 1998. Life expectancy increased from 1998 to 1999 for males, but decreased for females. Life expectancy increased for black males by 0.2 year (from 67.6 to 67.8) and for white males by 0.1 year (from 74.5 to 74.6). For black females, life expectancy decreased from 74.8 to 74.7 years. For white females the decrease was from 80.0 to 79.9.
