[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 34 and I am NOT middle aged. F off. [/quote]

If you go by the median age of death in US you most certainly are [/quote]

Middle age starts at 36. The average lifespan in the United States is 72 years old. 36 + 36 = 72

You are almost middle aged right now. Wake up.[/quote]

No, the average life expectancy of an American woman is 80. Add to it the fact that I’m white (it’s unfortunate that race makes a difference but it does), financially secure, and in good health with a good family history, then it’s probably higher. Of course sh happens and I could die tomorrow. Middle age mathematically is at least 40.
But biologically and culturally, middle age is associated with things like menopause and other physical changes. Which is generally not in your 30s. And I have perky breasts and a flat stomach and firm legs so…. Nope, not middle aged. [/quote]

This is not true for anyone of any race.

the average life expectancy is 76 and it’s declining post covid.[/quote]

False. White women live to over 80 in the US, on average. White men in the top quintile of income. White men in the top 1% of income (like me) live until ~87 on average. If you don't smoke or drink or have serious hereditary diseases in the family then it goes up to like the mid 90s[/quote]

YOU'RE WRONG! You are  quoting data from 2016. In 2023 that is incorrect.

That statistic is outdated. A simple google search will tell you this.

Plus, [b]we're now living in a post covid world.[/b] You fail to acknowledge that SO MUCH progress was destroyed because of covid and the domino effects.

Life expectancy has declining for everyone.[/quote]
