Life expectancy at age 60, male (years)

This metric represents the projected average lifespan of a 60-year-old male, assuming current mortality rates remain unchanged throughout the remainder of his life. It serves as a crucial indicator for understanding the health and longevity of a population, shedding light on the impacts of factors such as healthcare quality, lifestyle choices, and socio-economic conditions on male aging. By analyzing this data, policymakers and researchers can identify trends and disparities in male health outcomes, facilitating targeted interventions to improve overall well-being. Furthermore, it can inform individuals' retirement planning and social support needs, illustrating the importance of planning for longevity in an aging society. Evaluating this figure in conjunction with other demographic indicators enriches the understanding of health expectations as men transition into their golden years. Source:
