In every age group, even those well over a hundred, we continue to see
larger and larger proportions of people in those brackets - including brackets
that remained unoccupied until recently. And, nobody dies of old age.
Even at 110+, they die of heart attacks, strokes, pneumonia, etc. Aging
just increases your risk from almost any source of mortality.
