> It mostly is. The biggest gains are in childhood. The life expectancy of a 60-year old going from 74.4 to 84, or a 70-year old from 79.1 to 85.9, is significant and meaningful. Not as much as a newborn's LE going from 41.6 to 81.1. But far from "pretty stable in the 70s-80s range for most of human history." Also, recent life-expectancy increases have come from adult morality reductions [1]. [1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3000019/ |
