How Many Nonagenarians Seemed To Be Unusually Healthy/active Before Their Death?

Recommended Posts

Lung Cancer.

It is a fair sized group of 263 people (255 dead vs 8 alive) - also shows it's a killer.

 

Of those dead the oldest was 100 (Gloria Stuart) & youngest 35 (Bill Hicks).

Of those who have died they have a combined average age at death of 70.99 (digital) years.

 

Of those still alive the oldest is (Chuck Barris) 81 & the youngest being 39 (Lance Armstrong).

Of those who are still alive, they have a combined average age of 64.11 (digital) years (not out).

 

Again a surprise - a higher average age of death than I would have expected.

 

No more than 6 people with a lifespan of more than 90 years of age.

Before I get onto cancers and such like I've just looked at those listing as being vegetarian.

It is a smaller size group of 353 people (32 dead vs 321 alive) - shows it's a modern trend.

 

Of those dead the oldest were 94 (Gerhard Herzberg) & 91 (JD Salinger) & youngest 23 (River Phoenix).

Of those who have died they have a combined average age at death of 61.31 (digital) years.

 

Of those still alive the oldest 6 are Jack La Laine 96, Betty White 88, David Murdock 87, Bob Barker 86, Kenneth Kaunda 86 & BB King 85.The youngest being 19 (Evanna Lynch).

Of those who are still alive, they have a combined average age of 48.88 (digital) years (not out).

 

Surprise - a lower average age of death than smoking.

 

Fair size group and no one person with a lifespan of more than 96 years of age.

This didn't age well.

Betty White, David Murdock, Bob Barker and Kenneth Kaunda are all still alive!

White is 99, Murdock 98, Barker and Kaunda 97.
