There was quite a jump in life expectancy in the decades of the 1950s and 1960s, followed by slow progress for white females and black females. In the case of men of both races, the situation appears to be steady progress in post retirement life expectancy since 1950. Black male life expectancy actually fell in the 1960s for those aged 65.

Although there has been a dramatic decline in deaths, most children still die from causes that are readily preventable or curable with existing interventions. Pneumonia, diarrhea, and malaria are the leading causes, accounting for 30 percent under-five deaths
