Well currently 2.4 million Americans die every year. This is based on statistics of the leading cause of death being heart disease. The second is cancer, brain malfunction, lung diseases, accidental death, diabeteas, pneumonia, alzheimer's, nephritis and infections. But 53 percent of all these deaths occure to people that are over 75 years of age. A hundred years ago the average life span was 48. Two hundred years ago the average life span was 38 and in prehistoric times if you were 18 you were an old man. So now we live longer through various forms of knowledge, medicine and dieting. But chances are 53 percent of people will live at least as long as the current lifespan which is above 76 for both men and women in America today.
