This means there is a greater need to develop a financial strategy that manages longevity risk. A key element in creating such a strategy is understanding your own potential life expectancy and the factors that can influence it. The Society of Actuaries (SOA) Mortality and Longevity Program Steering Committee sponsored a study that examines the question of how well people estimate their own life expectancy and probability of survival to different ages relative to current data and actuarial estimates. The SOA engaged Greenwald and Associates to perform the study with two primary goals: 1. to determine how realistic individuals are in their perception about their remaining length of life 2. to measure variations in perception across socioeconomic and demographic groups within the population. The study is based on an online survey of 2,012 Americans, including both pre-retirement (those ages 50–64) and post-retirement populations (those ages 65 and older). Respondents were all age 50 or older, with similar proportions in their 50s (37%), 60s (33%), and 70 and over (30%). All respondents over age 65 were retired, and all respondents below age 65 were not yet retired. Data were weighted by age, education, sex and household income to be representative of the U.S. population. The survey questions gathered data regarding respondents’ initial perceptions of their own life expectancy and their chance of surviving 10–15 years from today into the future. It then compares responses from the survey to current actuarial estimates. The current actuarial estimates were calculated by researchers using the SOA and American Academy of Actuaries (AAA) Longevity Illustrator, 1 which determines a general population estimated life expectancy based on current age and sex as well as self-reported smoking habits and health status. These standardized calculations were then compared to the individuals’ reported view of their own life expectancy and survival probabilities. Next, the survey measured changes in the respondents’ perceptions after they have been exposed to a series of health and lifestyle questions regarding factors known to impact longevity. See Appendix A for responses to individual lifestyle and health questions assessed in this study. See Appendix B for the distribution of respondents for each survey variable. 1 The Actuaries Longevity Illustrator (ALI) is a tool that the American Academy of Actuaries and the Society of Actuaries developed to provide individuals with information about their longevity. For information about ALI’s underlying mortality assumption, see www.longevityillustrator.org.

Life Expectancy — Respondent versus Actuarial Estimates % of Respondents Respondents Estimated Within +/- 5 Years 28% 49% Respondents Overestimated by 5+ Years 23% Respondents Underestimated by 5+ Years • Of the respondents whose life expectancy estimate varied by five or more years from the standard actuarial estimate, those who considered themselves less healthy and who reported having a less healthy lifestyle were more likely to underestimate their life expectancy. Those who rated themselves higher on these dimensions were more likely to overestimate. Other research supports this finding—the U.S. Health and Retirement Study (HRS) shows that those who claim to be in good health similarly tend to overestimate their expected longevity. Self-Reported Lifestyle Self-Reported Health Status Unhealthy 29% 71% Fair/Poor 29% 71% Normal 43% 57% Good 44% 56% Healthy 58% 42% Excellent/Very Good 56% 44% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% Overestimated 5+ yrs Underestimated 5+ yrs Overestimated 5+ yrs Underestimated 5+ yrs • Women were more likely to underestimate their life expectancy, while men were more likely to overestimate. • Those without a college degree were more likely to underestimate their life expectancy, while those with a college degree or higher tended to overestimate. • Those with lower incomes were more likely to underestimate their life expectancy, while those with higher incomes tended to overestimate. Copyright © 2020 Society of Actuaries 6 Percent of the Respondents Misestimating Life Expectancy by 5+ Years By Gender By Education Level By Household Income 100% 100% 100% 80% 46% 80% 47% 80% 46% 63% 58% 58% 60% 60% 60% 40% 40% 40% 54% 53% 54% 20% 37% 20% 42% 20% 42% 0% 0% 0% Male Female College Degree Less than College $100K and Less than or Higher Degree higher $100K Underestimated 5+ yrs Underestimated 5+ yrs Underestimated 5+ yrs Overestimated 5+ yrs Overestimated 5+ yrs Overestimated 5+ yrs There were significant portions of the population who considered themselves healthy even though their responses to questions regarding lifestyle and other longevity factors may suggest otherwise. We know for example that while 70% of the sample is overweight (as calculated using self-reported height and weight), only 57% of all respondents considered themselves to be overweight. • Even after respondents were exposed to specific questions regarding key drivers of life expectancy and survival probability, only 19% changed their initial estimates. This suggests more education is needed regarding the documented connection between those lifestyle and health drivers and longevity. • Results also suggest that most people (85%)—if confronted with information regarding behaviors or factors that could lengthen their lives—say that they would attempt to take action to change those factors. However, this study did not follow up to determine whether respondents actually would make those changes. Implications of the Study The most important finding of this study is that 51% of the U.S. population misestimated their life expectancy by at least five years—either too high or too low. • People who underestimate their life expectancy face a greater risk of outliving their financial assets and experiencing financial stress in retirement. • People who overestimate their life expectancy may not prepare properly for the care of financial dependents in the future in

Ralph: Longevity Extension Longevity Extension from a Socioeconomic Perspective: Plausibility, Misconceptions, and Potential Outcomes Eric Ralph Introduction In the last several decades, a significant amount of progress has been made in pursuits to better understand the process of aging and subsequently gain some level of control over it. Current theories of aging are admittedly lacking, but this has not prevented biogerontologists from drastically increasing the longevity of yeast, drosophilae, worms, and mice (Vaiserman, Moskalev, & Pasyukova 2015; Tosato, Zamboni et al. 2007; Riera & Dillin 2015). Wide-ranging successes with gene therapy and increased comprehension of the genetic components of aging have also recently culminated in numerous successes in extending the longevity of animals and the first human trial of a gene therapy to extend life through telomerase manipulation is already underway, albeit on a small scale (Mendell et al.

NORTH-HOLLAND Longevity and Life Expectancy CESARE MARCHETTI ABSTRACT The increase in life expectancy at all ages during the last two centuries is in need of a quantitative model capable of resuming the whole process under a single concept and simple mathematics. The basic hypothesis was that through improved hygiene, medicine, and life-style, the stumbling blocks to the full expression of longevity were progressively removed. The mathematics of learning processes was then applied to the secular evolution of life expectancy at various ages. The hypothesis proved very fertile.

Similarly unanswered are the questions of whether aging is reversible and can be turned into rejuvenation as well as how aging is distinguishable from and influenced by cellular senescence. With the discovery of beneficial aspects of cellular senescence and evidence of senescence being not limited to replicative cellular states, a redefinition of our comprehension of aging and senescence appears scientifically overdue. Here, we provide a factor-based comparison of current knowledge on aging and senescence, which we converge on four suggested concepts, thereby implementing the newly emerging cellular and molecular aspects of geroconversion and amitosenescence, and the signatures of a genetic state termed genosenium.

Abstract There is a common belief that it would be a universal good to discover how to slow or stop the aging process in humans. It guides the research of many biogerontologists, the course of some health policy leaders and the hopes of a substantial fraction of humanity. Yet, the outcome of achieving this goal is rarely addressed despite the fact that it would have profound consequences that would affect virtually every human institution. In this essay, I discuss the impact on human life if a means were found to slow our aging process, thus permitting a life expectancy suggested by the title of this conference, “Living to 100.” It is my belief that most of the consequences would not benefit either the individual or society.

Over these two centuries there has been a change from a regime of high infant and child mortality, with a preponderance of acute and infectious diseases, to a new regime in which adult mortality predominates and chronic and degenerative diseases are the most common causes of death. Period life expectancy at birth in the mid-19th century was around 40 years for males and 42 years for females. These figures increased to around 45 and 50 years respectively by 1901. Life expectancy then rose dramatically until the mid- 1950s. Since then, life expectancy at birth has continued to increase but at a less rapid rate (see Fig 1). Life expectancy for males rose at a lower rate than for females during the 1950s and 1960s, with the difference between males and females rising to a high of 6.3 years in 1970. Since 1970, male expectation of life has been increasing faster than female and the differential has fallen to 4.4 years by 2003.

  • Nebraska's 37 Supercentenarians Validated Among World's Longest-Lived
    Nebraska’s 37 Supercentenarians Validated Among World’s Longest-Lived by E. A. Kral Updated Oct. 3, 2018 Since publication of the author's 44-page supplement "Nebraska's Centenarians Age 107 Or Above--1867 to 2001" in the April 24, 2002, Crete News and follow-up article on the state's supercentenarians published in the October 2, 2002, Crete News, more longevity claims have been validated for persons who have Nebraska connections by birth or by residence and have reached age 110 or above. For validation of longevity claims, three records are usually needed from the first 20 years of a person's life, including such sources as birth registration, baptismal record, census data, or marriage certificate. The author was able to validate--with assistance from Gerontology Research Group scholars and volunteers--all the individual supercentenarian reports that follow, along with a brief summary for each. Clara Herling Huhn (1887-2000) Born near Clarkson, Colfax County, she died at La Mesa, California at the age of 113 years and 327 days. She lived the first 51 years of her life in Colfax County, and is the longest-lived Nebraska native. To date, she is the oldest person in Nebraska history, and as of March 2012, she ranked among the top 100 oldest persons in world history, according to Gerontology Research Group based in Los Angeles. Ella Winkelmann Schuler (1897 - 2011) Born near Fontanelle, Washington County, Nebraska, she died at Topeka, Kansas at the age of 113 years and 244 days. She moved to Hooper, Dodge County in 1917, where she was married in 1923, then lived near Denver, Colorado and Page City, Thomas County, Kansas until 1934, when she relocated to Topeka.
