I believe you are mistaken about this. The AVERAGE lifespan has increased versus 100 years ago, but this is largely because of eradication of childhood diseases and better quality water, etc. 100 years ago LOTS of folks made it their 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, but they were healthier and more active at that age than their same-aged contemporaries. Lots of people are living longer today but with lower quality of life in their senior years (eg. nursing homes).
