Answer #1

Life tables are of two types.

1. Static Life table: shows the current probability of death

2. Cohort life table: shows the probability of death over the course of their lifetime.

So when we need the mortality rate of a period of time (1-2 years) we prefer a static life table.

When we need an overall mortality rate of a population's entire lifetime, we use a cohort life table.

hope you understood my answer. Please rate my answer to show some love!
