Measuring life expectancy from birth is more a measure of infant mortality. The data on life expectancy from 5 years old is remarkably consistent... mid to upper 70's. It's even more consistent when one looks at life expectancy from 21 years. I do not have links to the charts showing this. But, last time I checked, I was quite surprised at how a sensational story about life-expectancy from birth loses much of its significance when one disregards the deaths that occur in the first 5 years of life.
