А тут речь идет о цифрах на момент рождения, которые более скромные.
April 19, 2006 -- U.S. life expectancy continues to rise, reaching a new record in 2004, according to the CDC.
The CDC's preliminary data show that in 2004, life expectancy at birth was 77.9 years. That means that in 2004, newborn babies would have had a life expectancy of 77.9 years, and older people would have had a life expectancy of 77.9 years minus their age in 2004.
That figure -- 77.9 years -- sums up overall life expectancy in the U.S. However, women still generally live longer than men, and whites tend to outlive blacks, though those gaps are narrowing.
In 2004, women's life expectancy exceeded men's life expectancy by 5.2 years, the smallest gender gap in life expectancy since 1946. Life expectancy for whites was five years greater than that of blacks.
Life expectancy for black and white men and women was as follows:
Black male: 69.8 years
White male: 75.7 years
Black female: 76.5 years
White female: 80.8 years
