The most dangerous job in the Middle Ages was child birth, and the most endangered age group was 0-12 years old.

For persons who survived to at least age 18, the average age of death for women was around 43 years, and the average age of death for men was around 48.

Average European and North American life span did not begin to increase until the first decade of the 1800s.
