Cardiovascular diseases
These include hypertension (high blood pressure); coronary heart disease (heart attack); cerebrovascular disease (stroke); heart failure; and other heart diseases. Cardiovascular disease is the top cause of death globally.
Heart disease
Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. This is the case in the U.S. and worldwide. More than half of all people who die due to heart disease are men.
There is a clear tendency for the lowest annual risk of death in children and young adults, with greater risk for the very young and very old. By the time we are over 65-70 years (depending on sex), we have at least a 1 in 100 chance of dying in the next years, rising to 1 in 10 over 85 years.
If a person is physiologically normal and healthy there is no chance of them dropping dead in any normal circumstances. The physiology of the human body is amazing that way. There are compensation mechanisms in place to prevent sudden an catastrophic failure of vital functions.
The Society of Actuaries (SOA) is the go-to resource. According to the SOA, a 65-year-old male today, in average health, has a 55% probability of living to age 85. For a 65-year-old woman, the probability of reaching 85 is 65%. Age 90 isn't some wild outlier.
Men aged 92 to 93 had an overall 6.0% chance of surviving to 100 years, whereas the chance for women was 11.4%. Being able to rise without use of hands increased the chance for men to 11.2% (95% confidence interval (CI) = 7.7–14.7) and for women to 22.0% (95% CI = 18.9–25.1).
Takeaways. About one in every 5,000 people in the United States is a centenarian—someone who's 100 or more years old—and about 85 percent of them are women.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women.
The global number of deaths per day is around 150,000 deaths. The number of deaths per day varies depending on various factors such as natural disasters, accidents, illnesses, and violence.
Population projections show that the yearly number of births will remain at around 130 to 140 million per year over the coming decades. It is expected to decline slowly in the second half of the century.
Your body stiffens, first, at your face and neck. The stiffening progresses to the trunk of your body and gradually radiates outward to your arms and legs and then your fingers and toes. Your body loosens again. A few days after death, your body's tissue breaks down, causing the stiff parts to relax again.
In 2022, death rate for WORLD was 8.4 per 1,000 people. Death rate of WORLD fell gradually from 12.2 per 1,000 people in 1973 to 8.4 per 1,000 people in 2022.
The number of Aussies aged over 100 grew by more than 30 per cent between 2013 and 2018, with Victoria showing a significant leap in centenarians. In total, there are 4828 centenarians in Australia, according to Australian Bureau of Statistics 2018 census data.
Australians are living longer, healthier lives. In the last 100 years, the life expectancy of Australians has increased by 20 years. Now Australia has 3700 people aged over 100. By 2050, Australia will have over 50,000 people aged 100 and over.
Between 2000 and 2020 the numbers of Australians aged over 85 grew by 110 per cent, compared with national population growth of 35 per cent. A baby girl born today has an almost 40 per cent chance of reaching 100. Life expectancy for men is increasing along a similar upwards curve, just behind the long-lived women.
In Australia, a boy born in 2019–2021 can expect to live to the age of 81.3 years and a girl would be expected to live to 85.4 years compared to 51.1 for boys and 54.8 years for girls born in in 1891–1900.
"Someone could even live to 1,000, but the probability of that is one in 1 quintillion," Milholland added. (If all the humans who have ever lived in the history of the species were totaled up, we'd still fall short of 1 quintillion.)
The average life expectancy of baby boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z are different. Compared to the 70-year life expectancy of baby boomers and the 85-year life expectancy of Gen X, Gen Z is predicted to have a life expectancy of over 100 years.
Almost all people complete their most meaningful years before age 75, Emanuel writes in his essay, so living past that age is rarely as good as it may sound. Physical function crumbles for about half of Americans at around age 80, and aging makes all of us mentally slower and less creative.
The overwhelming majority of 60-year-olds will live until at least 70, and majorities will get to at least 80. Similarly, very few people who make it to 50 die before they turn 60.
