From the Magazine "Living Southern Style"
The article titled: "Living to the Young Age of 100", by Carol Segrave,
Website: http://www.livingsouthernstylemagazine.com/
The article is three pages and discusses the fastest growing demographics in the USA. Those over 100. Currently from the US Census Bureau, 7/1/02
(* Article references this website: http://www.bumc.bu.edu/Dept/Home.aspx?DepartmentID=361 *)
In 2002 there were over 76,000 people over 100, with the expectation of 129,000 in the year 2010.
I am curious if people are making plans to live this long?
To help you the article also provided a chart for age:
(* Note: I am only copying, and do not know the reasoning *)
Begin with 78 (* The average life expectency today *) and add or subtract the following:
+1 All four Grand Parents over 70
+1 Both Parents over 70
+1 Both Parents over 80
