Statistical concept and methodologyMethodology: The indicator is calculated using number of survivors, l(x), at exact age x in a female period life table. The formula is: (l(65))/(l(0))*100. Statistical concept(s): Survival to age 65 is calculated in a period life table. It provides a population's mortality level up to age 65 at a given time. It therefore does not reflect the mortality level that a person actually experiences during his/her life, which can be calculated in a cohort life table.
Development relevanceMortality rates for different age groups (infants, children, and adults) and overall mortality indicators (life expectancy at birth or survival to a given age) are important indicators of health status in a country. The lower the age specific mortality rates before age 65, the higher the proportion of people survive to age 65.
