What was the life expectancy in the year 1500?

In the year 1500, the average life expectancy was significantly lower than today, generally estimated to be around 30 to 35 years. However, this figure can be misleading, as high infant and child mortality rates heavily influenced the average. Those who survived childhood often lived into their 50s or 60s. Life expectancy varied widely based on factors such as region, social status, and access to resources.
