Élettartammal

Élettartammal is a Hungarian term that translates to "lifespan" or "life expectancy" in English. It refers to the duration of existence of an organism, system, or object. In biological contexts, élettartammal typically denotes the average number of years an individual of a particular species is expected to live. This can be influenced by various factors including genetics, environment, lifestyle, and access to healthcare. For humans, life expectancy is a key demographic indicator, often calculated at birth and varying significantly across different regions and socioeconomic groups.

Beyond living organisms, the concept of élettartammal is also applied to non-biological entities. For instance, the lifespan of a technological device, such as a smartphone or a car, refers to how long it is expected to function before becoming obsolete or requiring replacement. Similarly, the structural lifespan of a building or infrastructure element indicates the period during which it can safely and effectively perform its intended function. Understanding the élettartammal of various components in a system is crucial for planning, maintenance, and economic forecasting. The term emphasizes the temporal aspect of existence, whether natural or artificial.
