Federal Survey Reports Life Expectancy Hits New High
U.S. life expectancy set a new record in 2003, but nearly half of all Americans between the ages of 55 and 64 face major cardiovascular risks, a new survey from the National Center for Health Statistics finds.
According to the center — a branch of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta — a child born in 2003 can expect to live to live to 77.6 years, compared with 77.3 years in 2002 and 75.4 years in 1990. Men who reached age 65 by 2002 can expect to live to an average of 82, while for women, the average was 85, the report found.
