  1. She must be in the Guiness book of world records then as being one of the
    unusual old people for her time.

    The average age expectancy has risen considerably.

    Wasn't the average mortality rate skewed because it factored in a very
    high infant mortality? {To use a very simplified example, if an
    infant dies at 1 year and an adult dies at 75 years, the the average
    mortality rate is 38. My great-grandmother had 18 children; 6 died in
    childbirth or under the age of one year, but my great grandparents
    lived to their late 80s.}

    It never ceases to amaze me that in a sci newsgroup, at all places,
    there are so many people who think that just because life expectancy,
    for instance, in 1900 was 47 years, people just didn't live till their
    70s and 80s.

    Agreed.

    My great grandmother, who grew up in the 1800's, lived to a ripe old
    age of 93. She cooked with lard, ate eggs every day and used cream,
    not milk. Her favorite treat was ice cream. Full fat of course. How
    did she die? She died peacefully in her sleep. Isn't it odd that those
    same foods suddenly became unhealthy in the next century?

    Regards.

    Yes "unusualy" old just like any number of random people I can look up
    from the 19th, 18th and even 17th century.

    Thomas Hobbes: 1588-1679 age 91!!

    Colley Cibber: 1671-1757 age 86

    George Frederic Handel: 1685-1759 age 74

    John Quincy Adams: 1735-1826 age 91

    James Madison: 1751-1836 age 85

    Andrew jackson: 1767-1845 age 78

    Benjamin Franklin: 1706 - 1790 age 84

    Richard Strauss: 1864–1949 age 85

    Giacomo Meyerbeer: 1791–1864 age 73

    Charles Gounod: 1818–1893 age 75

    Lowell Mason: 1792–1872 age 80

    John Philip Sousa: 1854–1932 78

    I could go on and on but you get the picture. Despite what most
    people would believe or assume people DID regularly live to fairly old
    ages hundreds of years ago and they did so without all our so called
    modern medical wonders because they were in better health than the
    elderly people of today. When you look at it rationaly you have to
    ask yourself just how far have we really come. If you consider that
    people were living to these ages hundreds of years ago with their
    primitive medical knowlage it is amazing that any people today should
    be dying in their 50s and even 40s of degenerative conditions and now
    most medical professionals are predicting a SHORTER life span for the
    next generation do to the unbelievably poor health of todays children.
    It is a simple fact that our modern society and modern medicine is a
    total failure.

    exceptional and not the norm.

    That is true. Doctors are one of the leading causes of death. Aside
    from emergency care for traumatic injuries etc. they do far more harm
    than good.

    It may not have been the "norm" but it certainly was not rare or
    non existant as medical authorities would have us believe and indeed
    most people do believe that in those times everyone dropped dead in
    their 30s and 40s of heart attacks which is just not true but it
    certainly goes a long way in making our modern society out to look
    much better than it really is and that suits the authorities just
    fine. And as for it not being the norm the reason for that is not
    nutritional or health related at all as it is today. It was do to
    other reasons that I mentioned before. Today the causes of death are
    much different. People do not die in their sleep of old age anymore
    the way humans and animals are supposed to, they mostly die from
    degenerative conditions caused by poor nutrition and toxic modern
    foods. The fact that most people now believe the OUTRAGEOUS and
    widespread lie that all these modern diseases are a result of humans
    living longer and that humans are SUPPOSED to die eventualy from
    things such as heart disease just goes to show you how ignorant and
    brainwashed they are and how we have come to accept the fact that our
    minds and bodies will deteriorate and we will all end up in rest homes
    as normal. People have no clue what the standard for real human
    health is because we are surrounded by poor health and have come to
    expect it. The truth is that all humans have the potential to live a
    very long and HEALTHY life free of degenerative conditions and
    retaining physical and mental strength to the day you die (vs.
    becoming some wheelchair bound invalid with diminished mental capacity
    unable to take care of yourself as is the "norm" today).

    The fact is people WERE healthier in the past and lived long
    lives and if you were able to give people in the past the modern
    technology we have in areas such as sanitation, emergency medicine,
    infant mortality reduction, infection and infectious disease control,
    then the old ages of 80s, 90s and beyond would not only be the "norm"
    it would be expected.

    I thought it was because there was no one to sign the death certificate
    during the strike.

    Yes, the average age has risen due to advancements in medicine,
    however, the incidents of diseases such as CHD and cancer wasn't as
    prevalent as it is today. No, she isn't in the Guiness Book of World's
    Records. There were centenarians long before you were born Pizza Girl.
