- The observed lifespan differential is defined as the difference between female and male average observed ages at death in a population and year. — Observed lifespan differential - global trends, policy impact and computational methods
- The measure describes realized ages at death among people who died in a given year, unlike life expectancy. — Observed lifespan differential - global trends, policy impact and computational methods
- Cross-country comparisons of absolute differential values are limited because the measure depends on each population's age-sex structure. — Observed lifespan differential - global trends, policy impact and computational methods
- The differential can reveal social disruptions and policy effects that average lifespan alone may not show. — Observed lifespan differential - global trends, policy impact and computational methods
