That was about middle age back then, since average life expectancy was around 40 years.

That included deaths before the age of 10. If you lived past them, you were good for at least another 40 years.

I think that by 1865, with the quality of life improving and medicine improving and all that it's more like 60 or 70 years.

Median age of death was 38.3 in 1850. If you made it to age 10 you were expected to live to at least 58.

Wait wouldn't 38 be the average then? With the median being much higher?

LOL 1865 aint the Middle Ages. Average life expectancy in the Netherlands in 1860 was 73 years.

This was America, not Netherlands. And it was around the time of the American Civil War, which brought the average lifespan down.

Not really, while yes a easily curable disease could kill you back then, people usually lived quite longer than that.

It was the absurdly high child mortality rates that brought those numbers way down

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Nope. Child deaths and stillbirths drag those statistics down, but have no effect on the life expectancy of an 18yo.

It was around the time of the American Civil War, too. But, I didn't find anything for the adjusted rate. If you do, link it.
