The life expectancy of women at birth in the United States stood at 81.1 years in 2023. Between 1960 and 2023, the life expectancy rose by eight years, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend.

In 2023, a woman in the United States aged 65 years could expect to live another **** years on average. This number decreased in the years 2020 and 2021, after reaching a high of **** years in 2019. Nevertheless, the life expectancy of a woman aged 65 years in the United States is still higher than that of a man of that age. In 2023, a man aged 65 years could be expected to live another 18.2 years on average. Why has the life expectancy in the U.S. declined? Overall, life expectancy in the United States has declined in recent years. In 2019, the life expectancy for U.S. women was **** years, but by 2023 it had decreased to **** years. Likewise, the life expectancy for men decreased from **** years to **** years in the same period. The biggest contributors to this decline in life expectancy are the COVID-19 pandemic and the opioid epidemic. Although deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic have decreased significantly since 2022, deaths from opioid overdose continue to increase, reaching all-time highs in 2022. The leading causes of death among U.S. women The leading causes of death among women in the United States in 2022 were heart disease, cancer, stroke, and COVID-19. That year, heart disease and cancer accounted for a combined **** percent of all deaths among women, while around *** percent of deaths were due to COVID-19. The overall leading causes of death in the United States generally reflect the leading causes among women, with some slight variations. For example, Alzheimer’s disease is the ***** leading cause of death among women but the ******* leading cause of death overall in the United States.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the population of Normal by gender across 18 age groups. It lists the male and female population in each age group along with the gender ratio for Normal. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population distribution of Normal by gender and age. For example, using this dataset, we can identify the largest age group for both Men and Women in Normal. Additionally, it can be used to see how the gender ratio changes from birth to senior most age group and male to female ratio across each age group for Normal.

Key observations

Scope of gender :

Please note that American Community Survey asks a question about the respondents current sex, but not about gender, sexual orientation, or sex at birth. The question is intended to capture data for biological sex, not gender. Respondents are supposed to respond with the answer as either of Male or Female. Our research and this dataset mirrors the data reported as Male and Female for gender distribution analysis.

The average age of the French population seems to be different according to gender, as told from the time line from 2010 to 2023. A general trend observed suggest that women had a higher average age over the years, compared to men. The average age of French men in 2023 (**** years) was lower than that of French women (**** years). This phenomenon could be explained by the fact that women have a higher life expectancy than men.
