Indicator notes

Life expectancy at birth is derived from life tables and is based on sex- and age-specific death rates. Life expectancy at birth values from the United Nations correspond to mid-year estimates, consistent with the corresponding United Nations fertility medium-variant quinquennial population projections. For some countries, where deaths registration is known to be incomplete, these estimates may differ significantly from the directly calculated life expectancy based on the official mortality and population data as reported to the WHO.

For more detailed information on the methods used to calculate estimated life expectancy, see http://apps.who.int/gho/data/node.wrapper.imr?x-id=65.
