With the US HD Index, life expectancy at birth represents the ability to live longer and live healthier lives. The life expectancy at birth means the average life expectancy of a baby born today if the current death pattern persists throughout its lifetime. The life expectancy at birth, which is the most commonly used population health index in the world, accounts for one-third of the HD index of the whole country. Based on mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Center, Health Statistics Center, and China's population data, the American human development program is divided into 50 states, 435 parliamentary districts, women and men, and the average of major racial and ethnic groups Calculate life span.

If the current mortality rate for each age group remains constant throughout the life of the person, the life expectancy at birth is an estimate of how long the average person today lives. This is a way to summarize the current mortality rate using easy-to-understand indicators that most people can contact directly. It is widely believed that life expectancy is an important indicator of the health condition of the population. The average life expectancy and the gap between Torres Strait Islander and other Australians are adopted by COAG as a high-level target to reduce the generation life life gap (COAG 2008a)

The average life expectancy of men in 2012 is 57 years, the average life expectancy of women is 59 years.

The median age of residents in 2014 was 17, with an estimated population growth rate of 3.05%. Medical expenditure in 2011 accounts for 6.5% of GDP, maternal mortality rate in 2010 is estimated to be 300 deaths per 100 000 births, and the density of doctors per 1000 people is 0.05.
