II. Survival situation in the life table

  In the abridged life tables for 2005, the number of survivors at age 65 is 85,606 for males and 93,069 for females in a stationary population supported by 100,000 annual live births. These facts lead that the survival ratio until age 65 is 85.6% for males and 93.1% for females. In the same way, it follows that the survival ratio until age 80 is 55.0% for males and 76.8% for females.
  The number of stationary population from age 0 is 7,853,104 for males and 8,548,580 for females. The number of stationary population from age 65 is 1,549,936(19.7%) for males and 2,155,750(25.2%) for females. These facts lead that ratio of total person-years from age 65 to total person-years from age 0 is 19.7% for males and 25.2% for females.
  The median length of life, which means the age when exactly half of the cohort remain alive, is 81.49years for males and 88.27 years for females.
