People are living longer lives because they were the healthy people from the mid 20th century. They are the ones that are living into their 90s and 100s. We don't know how well this modern generation is going to fare.

People get sick earlier in their lives now. Autoimmune disease is off the charts. Obese infants aren't running enough laps around the track.
