The Lincoln family remains actively involved in HonorHealth, supporting initiatives and offering guidance. In 1997, John C. Lincoln merged with Phoenix General Hospital to become a two hospital system as John C. Lincoln Health Network. Located near Interstate 17 and Loop 101, Deer Valley Medical Center offers comprehensive medical services and has 204 beds.
Today the life expectancy of a 50-year old has increased to 83. And another important change can be studied in this chart: health inequality decreased hugely. Look by how much life expectancy differed by age in 1845 â from 40 years for newborns to 79 for 70-year olds. Today this span is much smaller â from 81 to 86.
If you were born in 1942, your life expectancy at birth was about 68 years. But the good news is that you didn't die of infectious diseases when young, car accidents, or anything else. The average 65-year-old today can expect to live another 18.4 years. So your life expectancy now is not the same as it was at your birth. It is 5.9 years longer than the current life expectancy figure (which is for people born in 2006) or 83.4 years.
