Observed five-year gains in life expectancy, plotted against the life expectancy at the beginning of the five-year period. UN estimates for 158 countries from 1950 to 2005 are included in this figure (). Each point represents an observed five-year gain in life expectancy within a country. The black line is a locally weighted polynomial (lowess) regression of the observations, which highlights the nonconstant rate of gains in life expectancy. Included in the upper plot are the fitted posterior median double-logistic functions for Japan and Madagascar from our model. The UN deterministic models are included in the lower plot.

Gains in person years lived by age group 2010–2060 (Malawi) and survival probability from age 35 to 65 1970–2020 (Malawi). Panel a is based on Arriaga (1984) decomposition of changes in life expectancy at age 25 (e25) during 2010–2060. Gains in e25 during 2010–2060 are distributed as follows: 4.1 additional years, or 38 % of the overall adult life expectancy gain, will occur among individuals aged 45–64; and 5.1 years, or 47 % of the adult life expectancy gain, will occur among individuals aged 65+. The recent and projected future gains in adult survival in panels a and b are importantly driven by the continued roll-out of antiretroviral treatment (ART) that has reduced the mortality and morbidity consequences of HIV infection (Bor et al. 2013; Floyd et al. 2012), reductions in malaria infections and improved treatment of malaria (WHO 2010), and gains in the treatment of selected noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) (Msyamboza et al. 2011; Ntsekhe and Damasceno 2013).
