life expectancy
This term is primarily used in demographic, medical, and sociological contexts to describe a statistical average rather than a guaranteed lifespan for an individual. It carries a neutral, scientific tone and is frequently used in reports regarding public health or socioeconomic development.
Grammatically, this is an uncountable noun. It refers to a conceptual measurement or a statistical value, meaning it does not have a plural form in standard usage. One does not refer to multiple "life expectancies" for a single population, but rather a single value that represents the group.
Meanings
Examples
Advances in medical technology have significantly increased global life expectancy.
