Can Today's 50 Year Old Be Favored To Reach 90?

[DLKeeper1]

no because they're most likely overweight so they will face problems like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.

If you were allowed to examine and query all American, Caucasion, male 50 year olds without such relatives, are there any that you could bet even money would make 90?

Yeah, sure, but I'd have to look at actuarial tables first. I'd guess a 50 year old never smoked married male is a favorite. Like I said, though, if I did actual research (I know you aren't into that sort of thing), I could give an informed answer (boring, I know).
