2. The life expectancy in 1990 is 69.46 years for males and 76.97 years for females.
3. The life showed highest life expectancy is Seoul : 72.46 years for male and 79.33 for female respectively.
4. The life expectancy of metropolitan regions including Seoul is higher than that of all other regions. And also the sex difference of life expectancy of metropolitan including Seoul is smaller than that of all other regions at all age groups.
5. By time series analysis we observed little change of rank order of life expectancy by regions : The life expectancy for female in Seoul ranks top among all regions for the years 1975 and 1990 while that of Cheju is the highest in year 1998.
