Between 1980 and 2022, life expectancy at 65 has increased for males and females in the United Kingdom. For men life expectancy has grown by around 5.29 years, while for women it has increased by about 3.85 years.

Over the past 160 years, life expectancy (from birth) in the United States has risen from 39.4 years in 1860, to 78.9 years in 2020. One of the major reasons for the overall increase of life expectancy in the last two centuries is the fact that the infant and child mortality rates have decreased by so much during this time. Medical advancements, fewer wars and improved living standards also mean that people are living longer than they did in previous centuries.

Despite this overall increase, the life expectancy dropped three times since 1860; from 1865 to 1870 during the American Civil War, from 1915 to 1920 during the First World War and following Spanish Flu epidemic, and it has dropped again between 2015 and now. The reason for the most recent drop in life expectancy is not a result of any specific event, but has been attributed to negative societal trends, such as unbalanced diets and sedentary lifestyles, high medical costs, and increasing rates of suicide and drug use.

In 1970, women born in the U.S. could expect to live for 1.3 years more than women in the Soviet Union, and men in the U.S. could expect to live for 2.7 years longer than their Soviet counterparts. U.S. figures would steadily increase over the following decade, whereas the economic decline of the Soviet Union would see life expectancy fall by two years for men and 0.8 years for women. In 1980, the difference in life expectancy from birth between the two countries was 7.5 years for men, and 4.8 years for women. This difference has largely been attributed to an increase in alcohol and substance abuse and accidental deaths among males in the Soviet Union, as well as more accurate reporting methods in the Soviet Union (suggesting that early figures may no be fully representational). Although Soviet life expectancy did increase in the 1980s, the gap between life expectancy there and in the U.S. remained significantly larger than in 1970, and this trend continued well into the 1990s and early-2000s as the post-Soviet states adjusted to the socio-economic impact of the Union's dissolution.

Life expectancy from birth in Africa was just over 36 years in 1950. As a wave of independence movements and decolonization swept the continent between the 1950s and early 1970s, life expectancy rose greatly in Africa; particularly due to improvements and control over medical services, better sanitation and the widespread promotion of vaccinations in the country resulted in a sharp decrease in child mortality; one of the most significant reasons for Africa’s low life expectancy rates. Life expectancy in the continent would continue to steadily increase for much of the second half of the 20th century, however, life expectancy would flatline at around 52 years in the latter half of the 1980s, as the HIV/AIDS epidemic quickly grew to become one of the leading causes of death in the continent. After hovering around the low-fifties in the 1980s to and 1990s, life expectancy would begin to rise again at the turn of the millennium, and is estimated to be over 64 years in 2020.

In 1970, life expectancy at birth in the Soviet Union and United States was fairly similar, at 69.3 and 70.8 years respectively; a difference of 1.5 years. As the decades progressed, however, this difference widened. While improvements in the recording of such statistics in the Soviet Union gave a more reliable picture of life expectancy across the region, especially in Central Asia and rural areas, the largest influence was due to the side-effects of deteriorating economic conditions. As lifestyles and medical care in the U.S. steadily improved, the decline in life expectancy the USSR was largely due to preventable causes, particularly alcoholism and accidental deaths among the male population. By 1985, life expectancy in the U.S. was 6.3 years higher than in the Soviet Union.

When looking at each gender, life expectancy among women in the U.S. in 1985 was seven years higher than men, whereas there was a difference of almost 10 years in the USSR. Women in the U.S. could also expect to live for five years longer than their Soviet counterparts in this year, while life expectancy among men in the U.S. was eight years higher than in the USSR. Overall, the gap between the two countries narrowed in the late 1980s as the Soviet Union's existence came to an end, however, this gap then grew even larger throughout most of the 1990s and early-2000s, and the post-Soviet states continue to deal with the social and economic legacy of Soviet dissolution on their respective demographics thirty years later.

This table shows five variants of healthy life expectancy: - Life expectancy in perceived good health - Life expectancy without physical limitations - Life expectancy without chronic diseases - Life expectancy without psychological complaints - Life expectancy without GALI limitations 'ordinary' life expectancy is included, so that the figures on healthy life expectancy can be related to this. In the table, the data on (healthy) life expectancy can be broken down into the following characteristics: - Gender (this includes the total category for each statistical year of 2018) - Age This table can be used to show the development of healthy life expectancy over time. For example, it can be seen that life expectancy without chronic diseases for women fell in the 1980s and 1990s. Life expectancy without moderate and severe physical limitations for men actually increased over the same period. Data available from: 1981. Status of the figures: Final. Changes as of July 14, 2023: The table has been supplemented with figures for 2022. When will there be new figures? Third quarter 2024.
