Data for 1964

Life Expectancy at Age 65, 1964

1964, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

Life expectancy at 65 is how many more years a person who has reached 65 would live if that year's death rates held for the rest of their life. Because it starts the count after childhood, it measures old-age health directly, free of the child deaths that pull life expectancy at birth down in poorer countries.

Life Expectancy at Age 65, 1964 covers 222 countries on 3 measures. Lithuania is highest, at 16.4075; Mali is lowest, at 9.0927. The middle country reads 12.2851. Against 1963, 221 values changed (195 up, 26 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored

  • One year of the 2024 release

    Every year in this series comes from UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1964.

  • 221 distinct values among 222

    Values are stored exactly as published, to 4 decimals. 2 countries share 12.5600. Countries sharing a value share a position too.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 222 countries has every column.
