life expectancies
Predicted survival durations
Life expectancies is the plural of life expectancy—the statistically predicted number of years a person or population is expected to live.
The term appears in discussions of public health, insurance, and demographics: Life expectancies in developed countries have risen steadily over the past century.
Factors like healthcare access, diet, and environment cause life expectancies to vary widely across regions.
