A new widget that predicts the average life expectancy of an individual has been created.
- The age, gender and place of residence decides an individual’s average life expectancy.
- The study offers the life expectancy based on current mortality trends.
Risk of Mortality for Nondrinkers
Research from The University of Colorado seems to say that those who do not drink at all carry a higher mortality risk as compared to light drinkers.

‘Life expectancy for older individuals is likely to be higher because survival rates from a particular age depends on mortality rates only beyond that age.’
How many years an individual will live depends on their current age. The older an individual is, the higher the life expectancy is likely to be. This is because, survival rate from a particular age depends on mortality rates beyond that age and survival from birth, depends on mortality rates at every age.
Life expectancy according to area, age and gender-
Diabetes Increases Risk of All-cause Mortality in Women Smokers
Diabetes is associated with deaths from lung cancer, but also increases the risk of death due to other cancers and complications.

Biological Age Influences Life Expectancy
Chronological age of a person may not determine the risk of early death. Individuals with higher biological age are more likely to die early, claims study.

Reduced Toxicity of New HIV Drugs may Help Improve Life Expectancy
A new study has found that bringing new drugs to deal with HIV in younger individuals is required, but lowering the toxicity of those drugs is even more important

The bottom 50 localities with the lowest life expectancy at birth include North East, North West and Wales.
The lowest life expectancy in the UK was seen in Manchester.
A 65 year old man could expect to live just for another 15.9 years while a woman could live for another 18.8 years.
A woman in her early 20’s from Greater Manchester could live up to the year 2078 and a man in his early 20’s could live up to 2074.
Baby boys born this year in Manchester are expected to live up to 76.1 years of age and baby girls up to 80.3 years.
Despite improvements in life expectancy, the inequalities between local areas with highest and lowest newborn life expectancy has increased.
The figures obtained from the widget, are not based on conclusive evidence.
The death rates are likely to change in future, with improvements in life expectancy. This is because many individuals who live in a particular area are likely to move to another area, at least during some part of their life.
