Abstract: Abstract Since the 1950s, countries of the developed world have experienced increases in life expectancy at advanced ages. Whereas in 1960 men could expect to live for 67.5 years and women for 73 years, in 2005 they could expect to live for 75.8 and 81 years, respectively (Visco, 2001). At the age of 80, men can expect to live for another 7.3 years and women for another 8.9 years.
