So many people dying before reaching "Average Life Expectancy"
How come I am still here?
Seems like I am entering the "At Risk" range - 60 to 70

Life expectancy is based on the expected life of a newborn at the time. There are also predictions based on current age, very different. It may seem counterintuitive, but, at my age, 80, my life expectancy is to live more than the US average life expectancy, because I am already 80, older than the average US male's current life expectancy.
That doesn't mean that you should not try to do whatever you can to prolong your life, wear a seat belt, don't smoke, etc.
