Average Life Span
Old Blue
Sunday was a bad day to be a really old person in the United States. Two of the oldest people in the world died within hours of each other, one a 114-year-old woman in New Hampshire and the other a spry 113-year-old woman from Detroit. The rest of the intriguing story can be found here.
While you sit around the dinner table doing the backwards math to figure out what years these people were born, you may want to know how long YOU will likely live. Or maybe not.
The average life expectancy in the U.S. is 77.7.1 Not exactly “lucky sevens.” Narrowing it down a little further, a 40-year-old man can expect to live to 77.1 while a 40-year-old woman can expect to live to 81.9. I’m sure there’s a sexist joke there somewhere, but I’ll leave that for the oldest guy at your table to tell tonight. Chances are there’s an even older woman next to him with a wittier comeback.
