在高收入国家，60岁时的预期寿命近几十年来有所增加。烟草使用减少（仅男性）和心血管疾病死亡率下降（男性和女性）是导致这一上升的主要因素。在高收入国家，自1980年以来，由于可避免的心血管死亡减少，可避免的男性死亡率有所下降。对于拉丁美洲、加勒比、欧洲和中亚的男子以及所有区域的妇女来说，自1980年以来，可避免的死亡率变化不大或有所增加。到目前为止，没有证据表明老年人（60岁及以上）死亡率的下降速度正在放缓，或者老年人死亡人数正在被压缩到一个狭窄的年龄段，因为他们接近假设的寿命上限。
In high-income countries, life expectancy at age 60 years has increased in recent decades. Falling tobacco use (for men only) and cardiovascular disease mortality (for both men and women) are the main factors contributing to this rise. In high-income countries, avoidable male mortality has fallen since 1980 because of decreases in avoidable cardiovascular deaths. For men in Latin America, the Caribbean, Europe, and central Asia, and for women in all regions, avoidable mortality has changed little or increased since 1980. As yet, no evidence exists that the rate of improvement in older age mortality (60 years and older) is slowing down or that older age deaths are being compressed into a narrow age band as they approach a hypothesised upper limit to longevity.
