The life expectancy for males was 34.5 years and that of females was 36.5, but this isn't an accurate reflection of how long Americans of that time lived because this factors in the then high child mortality rate of up to 15% and, excluding this the life expectancy would've been in the upper fifties.

The average life expectancy in the United States in 1790 was around 35 years. This was due to high infant mortality rates and lower life expectancy for adults compared to today.
