10 years younger on average
The average age of death in the US is around 78.7 years. This average can vary based on factors such as gender, race, socioeconomic status, and geographic location. It is important to note that this number represents an average and does not guarantee when any individual will pass away.
The average age of death 2000 years ago was significantly lower than it is today. Life expectancy in ancient times was much lower due to factors like high infant mortality rates, limited medical knowledge, and harsh living conditions. It is estimated that the average age of death was around 30-35 years old.
Thanks in large part to medical science people are living longer and longer. The average life span in 1870 for a female was 25 and for a male was 18. This is much lower compared to 1980 when the average for women was 76 and for men 67. The average ages of death for the last decade 2000-2010 was 78 for both sexes.
In the United States the average life expectancy was around 71 years old for men. For females the average life expectancy was around 78 years old. The average for the whole country was around 74.5 years old.
I'm not sure about the average, but it was around 40 to 50 years according to my History and English teachers.
