A demographic index that refers to the average number of years a person can expect to live in a given country, depending on their year of birth and sociocultural characteristics. It is an indicator used to compare mortality rates across different populations and to assess the health and development levels of a population. It is generally calculated at birth, although it can be updated subsequently. The results differ between sexes, with women having a higher life expectancy.
