Risks of Being Alive

Everything in life carries some level of risk, even the simple act of being alive. From the moment we are born, we face probabilities of mortality that vary by age and other factors. Understanding these risks helps put other life choices into perspective, as living a completely risk-free life is impossible. This page allows you to explore your baseline mortality risk and life expectancy based on your age group, using data from reliable demographic sources.
