Dear Colleagues -
I dearly hope you can help me with the following complicated question.
The patron has already seen the 'CIA's Rank Order - Life expectancy at
Birth by Countries of the World' page (the US is ranked #47) See
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/21
02rank.html, and now he wants to know if a similar list exists for 'Life
Expectancy' beginning with 65 years forward. In other words, when a
person of a particular country turns 65 years old, how much longer
should he expect to live...and the Patron needs this information by
country ranking. What country at the top? Who's next, etc. The Patron is
writing an article and is trying to prove that although the U.S. is #47
in the world in general, it would rank much higher in the world after
the age of 65, due to the availability of Medicare. Foe example, he
makes the point that there are more MRIs given in the Detroit, then the
entire country of Canada. I'm not inviting debate, so please bite your
tongue before expressing personal opinions. So, is there such a list
available? I've checked the WHO and the UN, but not OECD yet. Does
anyone have any ideas where I can find this type of data? Thank you in
advance.
Regards,
