Need to know : When planning your retirement, your Mortality-Improved Life Expectancy gives you a much more realistic projection of how long the average person who has survived to age 65 is likely to live.
Most experts recommend using this average life expectancy figure when planning how long you will need to make your retirement income last. At most points during retirement, the probability of one of you being alive is much higher than the probability of either partner being alive. This is shown in this graph by Challenger of the survival probability for a couple both aged 65 in Source: Challenger using data from Australian Life Tables —12 with year mortality improvement factors.
In the past 20 years, the number of Australians aged 85 and over increased by In fact, in June there were , Australians aged 85 and over. So your chance of living well into old age is pretty good and happens to a lot more people than you may realise.
Need to know : The older you are the more likely you are to reach an even older age, as you have avoided many of the causes of an earlier death. According to the Australian Life Tables — , currently a male aged 85 on average can expect to live an additional 6.
Note that this is just an average life expectancy based on national statistics, and does not take into account any personal factors.

If you manage to equal or exceed these purported averages then good luck to you. The things you need to look at are your immediate family lines for longevity and whether you have followed a similar pattern of exercise and eating regime to them.
If you blow all your personal savings before age 75 then you can realistically consider the partying and spending spree to be over and sedentary past times take over. Michael Roden Statistics and Mapping. Highest and lowest life expectancies Female-male differences in life expectancy Socio-economic and Indigenous status.
Demographic indicators such as migration, population growth, birth and death rates are not always attention-grabbing, yet life expectancy often provokes a more visceral reaction. After all, this is how many years we could expect to live in a given region under current conditions.
It is immediately understandable to say that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders can expect to live 8 years less than non-Indigenous people, or that life expectancy in Zimbabwe fell by 17 years during the AIDS epidemic, or that Japanese can expect to live past The tool for calculating life expectancies is the life table, a demographic model which assumes the observed mortality rates by age and sex continue indefinitely in a closed population.
While this is not a realistic picture of how a birth cohort experiences mortality over the years—as generally mortality rates improve a little each year—it does provide a convenient snapshot of overall mortality conditions at a point in time.
It also avoids the need to speculate about future mortality. In that respect it is similar to the total fertility rate, which assumes that age-specific fertility rates for a given year will be experienced by a woman over her reproductive years from age 15 to However, life tables rely on age-specific death rates which in turn require sufficient deaths to avoid excessive volatility—a problem especially in younger ages and where populations are small.
This is the main reason why life expectancies tend to be unavailable for smaller areas. So if some states have barely adequate numbers of deaths to produce death rates underpinning their life tables, then a disaggregation into electorates will certainly face this issue. This relationship is then used to calibrate the state age-specific death rates for the general divisional pattern.
Such modelling seeks to remove regional age-specific death rate volatility, while maintaining the overall relationship between the division and state mortality. Hence divisional life expectancy at birth is likely reasonable, while more detailed analysis such as life expectancy at age 65 or the probability of surviving from 30 to 60 would be less reliable and has not been undertaken here. The gap between the highest division Bradfield and lowest Lingiari was The 20 divisions with the highest and lowest e 0 are shown in Figure 1.
The lowest 20 divisions were spread across most states and were all regional apart from a handful of outer-urban divisions. Figure 1: life expectancy at birth, highest and lowest 20 Commonwealth Electoral Divisions, The spatial distribution of life expectancy is more clearly evident when mapped Figure 2.
While these patterns are already largely known, as the ABS publishes e 0 for states and SA4s, as divisions are on average 70 per cent more granular than SA4s, regional e 0 differences can be examined more closely. Of the 7 divisions with lowest life expectancy mapped dark red , northern-remote Australia stands out with Lingiari, Kennedy, Leichhardt and Durack, accompanied by Parkes.
Bass in north-east Tasmania and Spence in northern Adelaide were the 5th and 6th lowest respectively.
