Then and now: life expectancy for the class of 1958
When you were born, U.S. life expectancy at birth was 69.6 years (72.9 for girls, 66.6 for boys). That number was calculated from the death rates of 1958, and it included every baby born that year, including those who died young. Having made it to about 68, the picture is different: under the SSA’s 2023 period table, the average age at death for someone your age is about 86.4 for women and 84.1 for men, 15.6 years above the 1958 at-birth average.
The same table suggests that, of people born in 1958 who are alive today, about 36% of women and 25% of men would reach 90, and 3.3% of women and 1.3% of men would reach 100. Period tables assume today’s death rates continue; if they keep falling, these figures will prove a little low.
Numbers like these describe a whole birth cohort, not any one person. For a personal statistical breakdown by exact age and sex, see Statistical Life Left.
