Tables provided by the Social Security Admin. show the following remaining  
life expectancies in the U.S. as of 2006.
 
Male age & expectancy:
 
60   20.7   Female 23.78
 
70    13.55  Female 15.9
 
80    7.28    Female 9.33
 
90    3.84    Female 4.62
 
95    2.67    Female  3.20
 
100   2.01   Female  2.35
 
110   1.11   Female  1.19
 
The most striking thing clearly is the steady  reduction in mortality  rate 
with advancing age. A man of 80 can only expect about 7.28 years more, but  
if he reaches 90 he still can expect another 3.84 years. Escape velocity,  
anyone?
