What is average lifespan of an American woman?

Answer 1

According to the 2007 National Vital Statistics Reports (which can be viewed in related links), the "average age at death in the US was 86.2 years."

This is not the same as "Life Expectancy" and should not be confused.

It should be noted that it has become common for individuals on the web to quote "Life Expectancy" a statistically calculated number from "age adjusted" data as the average or median age of death for Americans and compare that to foreign county data average age at death.

This has further been confused and used in the current Health Care Debate to define Americans as having a low average death age as compared to other countries when this is far from the truth.

Answer 2

Women live longer naturally, though not by much. They are supposed to live for 75 years, but men only 70.

Answer 3

The average age of life expectancy for an American female is 81 years of age. American men however, have a life expectancy of 76 years of age.

Answer 4

64 years old is the average American female life span.

Answer 5

well, women live older then men, and the life expectancy of humans is 93 or so
