"Objectives—This report presents complete period life tables
for the United States by race, Hispanic origin, and sex, based on
age-specific death rates in 2016.
Methods—Data used to prepare the 2016 life tables are
2016 final mortality statistics; July 1, 2016 population estimates
based on the 2010 decennial census; and 2016 Medicare data
for persons aged 66–99. The methodology used to estimate the
life tables for the Hispanic population remains unchanged from
that developed for the publication of life tables by Hispanic origin
for data year 2006. The methodology used to estimate the 2016
life tables for all other groups was first implemented with data
year 2008.
Results—In 2016, the overall expectation of life at birth was
78.7 years, unchanged from 2015. Between 2015 and 2016, life
expectancy at birth decreased by 0.1 year for males (76.3 to 76.2)
and did not change for females (81.1). Life expectancy at birth
did not change for the white population (78.9) between 2015
and 2016. Life expectancy at birth decreased by 0.2 year for the
black population (75.5 to 75.3) and for the non-Hispanic black
population (75.1 to 74.9). Life expectancy at birth decreased by
0.1 year for the non-Hispanic white population (78.7 to 78.6) and
for the Hispanic population (81.9 to 81.8).."
