People can live in to their 80's, so our life span (on the whole) is longer.  So 50's to me.  Hong Kong & Japan have longer life spans then in the U.S.


 

 

@songbird  Older people in Asian countries tend to live longer because it's expected they be taken in to live with their children...no lonliness, depression, continued good nutrition, etc. There's always someone there to watch out for them. I think this is prevalent in many ethnic families in Europe and in the U.S., too.
