This uses the Office for National Statistics' national life tables, the same population data actuaries work from. It describes a population, not you personally.

The odds
Of 100 people your age, around 17 die before the end of a 25-year term.
This comes from a period life table: it applies current, population-wide mortality rates to every age group at once. It is not a personal forecast and takes no account of your own health, family history or lifestyle.
