Notes: The table shows the predicted cumulative percentage change in life expectancy and age adjusted mortality rate at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years. We present the median values and provide the values that correspond to the 90% bands in brackets. Results are presented for the overall US population and subdivided based on race and gender.
