If one excludes infant mortality (i.e. if you don't count children who died before their 1st birthday when computing the average), life expectancy would be about 40, with those in the upper classes gaining perhaps as much as 10 years more. If one include infant mortality in the calculation, reduce the above numbers by almost 10 years.
Lowers it because the kids die.
The life expectancy in 1933 was around 59.7 years. However, it is important to note that this average was significantly influenced by high infant mortality rates at that time.
The life expectancy in 1840 was around 40 years old. This was due to high infant mortality rates and a lack of medical advancements leading to shorter lifespans.

The life expectancy for both men and women in Zambia is very low: only 39 years. This is largely due to a high infant mortality rate: over 10%.
If you were born in 1900, the life expectancy was around 47 years. This was due to higher infant mortality rates and lower medical advancements compared to today.
In 1911, the average life expectancy was around 50 years old. This was mostly due to higher infant mortality rates and lower medical advancements compared to today.
