The *_supplemental datasets contain a subset of countries for which data prior 1950 are available. Datasets e0Mproj and e0Fproj contain projections of male and female e0, respectively.
Life expectancy in various five-year time intervals. The e0*proj datasets start at 2010-2015. The e0*_supplemental datasets start at 1750-1755. Missing data have NA values.
