    It is how long you are supposed to live , in the abscense of disease; and if your health and   life span isn't scewed by smoking, drinking, drugs, and bad diet, and some harmfull meds.


     Example- - -an American  woman's life span  is about 85 if absent of all the above factors.


      A life expectancy is something different, b/c that takes into consideration all of the above features that can shorten a life. So, the life expectantcy of a woman is about 80 . A man is about  78. It's gone up for both. Back when my dad died in 1985, the life expectantcy for men was 76. So he exceeded it by two years.

    Of what???????????????????????
