Life expectancy and death rate are inversely related. A higher life expectancy generally corresponds to a lower death rate, as people are living longer and surviving into older age. Conversely, a lower life expectancy indicates a higher death rate, with people likely dying earlier in life.
As of now, the country with the highest life expectancy rate in the world is Japan. Japanese people have one of the longest life spans globally, attributed to factors such as a healthy diet, universal healthcare, and an active lifestyle.
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.
Life expectancy is the average number of years a person is expected to live based on current mortality rates.
The simple demographic indicatorrs are population growth, urban/rural population figures/mortality rate, life expectancy etc.
