Life expectancy at the age of ... years

Calculation of the life expectancy

Minor deviations in the results of life expectancy (further life expectancy and at birth) for Germany according to the WHO, OECD and the Federal Statistical Office are due to differences in the calculation methodology.
According to the methodology of the Statistics on the Natural Movement of the Population of the Federal Statistical Office, the mortality tables are calculated for a three-year average, while the results of the OECD and WHO are based on single years. Also the calculation of probability of dying may underlie methodological differences.
According to the methodology of the Federal Statistical Office the infant mortality rate is calculated by Raths (year of birth method) and the death rate of the one-year-old and older by Farr (mortality rate method), while the WHO for example uses the method by Wiesler. Furthermore the WHO groups the mortality in age groups, in contrast to the Federal Statistical Office, which relies on single years of age.

further information on document

In terms of the Population Projection of the Federal Statistical Office:
Average number of further years a person at a certain age could probably still live, according to the current mortality conditions. It is calculated by the periodic table of the Federal Statistical Office. It includes the current probabilities for single years of age, to die at the respective age. It is a hypothetical indicator, because the mortality rates can change during the course of the further lifetime. There is a distinction between the average life expectancy at birth (i.e. at the age of 0 years) and the further life expectancy, for example at the age of 60 respectively 65 years. The sum of reached age and further life expectancy respectively the total expected years of life increase with progressive age. Today a one year old child has a higher life expectance than a child that is just born, because it has overcome the risks of dying in the first months of its life. So it has higher chances to reach a higher age.
