Notes:

1. Life tables by sex are counted only once. Throughout Table 1, we count a maximum of one life table per country-period.
2. If the death counts used to construct the life table come from more than one year, we count exposure-to-risk over the full period.
3. Data for New Zealand refer to the non-Maori population prior to 1950 and to the full national population after 1950.

Notes:

1. Life tables in this collection that overlap with the HMD (Table 1a) are not listed here individually.
2. The complete collection of life tables was used by Murray et al. (2003) in creating the modified logit model and life table system.

Notes:

1. Person-year estimates are based on historical population data for each area. If the death counts used to construct the life table come from more than one year, we count exposure-to-risk over the full period.
2. For some areas, life tables represent subpopulations.
3. Life tables from the HLD that overlap with those in the HMD or the WHO collection (see Tables 1a and 1b) are not listed here.
