This grouped bar chart displays life expectancy at birth for white females in the United States, categorized by years of education attained by age 25, comparing data from 1990 (blue), 2000 (green), and 2008 (red). Across all education levels, life expectancy increased over time, but the gap between the least-educated (<12 years) and most-educated (16+ years) widened-from ~5.3 years in 1990 to ~6.2 years in 2008. The strongest gains occurred among those with 13-15 years of education, suggesting targeted socioeconomic improvements during that period.
