78.7 ????????? Really!

Your aren't taking into account future mortality improvement

I agree. The best chance of living longer- is to keep living. A cure for cancer would probably bump up life expectancy. For males, war is a consideration also; make it past the age of military service and that has to be beneficial. I wonder how much the World Wars skewed the numbers for males in the belligerent countries?
