Are causes of death factored?
In: 0
It’s basically just a real time average of the age of death of people. Causes are factored in, because people die of *something* but it’s not like they are generally applying some sort of projection of people *might die* in the future, it’s more real time than that.
For example during the height of the COVID pandemic life expectancy was reduced because you had so many people dying all of sudden at a younger age than was previously normal, all those COVID deaths dragged the life expectancy down a couple of years despite the likely long term expectation that young people born today wouldn’t be likely to die in bulk from COVID in 2064
