Age
Definition
Age refers to the length of time that a person has lived or a thing has existed.

Age Distribution: This term refers to how different age groups are represented within a given population. It’s like sorting books into sections based on their publication date.
Life Expectancy: The average period that a person may expect to live. It’s comparable with predicting how many sequels your favorite book series might have based on previous releases.
Cohort: A group of people banded together or treated as a group because they share some demographic characteristic - just like all books published in 2020 form one cohort.
