Distribution of minimum mortality ages for all countries together, females and males: Grouped birth cohort 1900–1994. The bars show the relative frequency of the ages in the respective cohort groups pooled over all of the available countries. The age of minimum mortality is measured in integers. The number of countries varies over time in each cohort group and is indicated by N. The highlighted bar represents the modal age in the respective year. The bars correspond to full ages.
