In a life table, the column 'Tx' represents:

• A The number of persons surviving to exact age x
• B The probability of dying between age x and x+1
• C The total number of person-years lived after exact age x ✓
• D The life expectancy at age x

Explanation

In a life table, Tx represents the total number of person-years lived by the cohort after exact age x. It is calculated by summing the Lx values (person-years lived between ages) from age x to the end of the table. Lx represents person-years lived between age x and x+1, lx represents survivors to exact age x, and ex represents life expectancy at age x.
