摘要：

A microcomputer program in BASIC for predicting life expectancy by age in US adults was designed. Formulas used in this study were derived from the data reported by the National Center for Health Statistics. A comprehensive life table that shows the relationship between age and death rate, survival probability or life expectancy for each year between 25 and 85 years of age was obtained in this study, using a newly designed computer program for predicting life expectancy by age and the program for survival probability previously published by the author. The comprehensive life table may be useful for clinical evaluation of patients and further helpful for biomedical investigation and epidemiological evaluation of US adults.
