About the benefits of longevity: doctors found out that the best years of life begin after 60
As you know, at the end of last year, 2022, or rather on November 15, the Earth's population reached an impressive figure - 8 billion people. Network analyst Vladimir Osetrov decided to find out exactly what this figure is, having carefully studied the data published in international sociological publications. That's what he got, if you count these 8 billion for 100%.
Of these:
11% are located in Europe;

And only 8% can live to 65 years.
To whom old age is a joy
Moreover, American doctors and psychologists, based on sociological data, have made some more interesting conclusions, which are published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
They found that only at the age of 60 a person reaches the peak of his emotional and mental potential, and this continues until the age of 80. So:
▪️ The most productive age of a person is from 60 to 70 years;
The 2nd most productive stage of a person is the age from 70 to 80 years;
▪️ The 3rd stage in terms of productivity is 50 and 60 years.
▪️ Before that, the person has not yet reached his peak.
The average age of Nobel Prize laureates is 62 years;
The average age of the presidents of the 100 largest companies in the world is 63 years;
The average age of pastors of the 100 largest churches in the USA is 71 years;
The average age of Popes is 76 years.
That is, in fact, the best and most productive years of a person fall on the age of 60 to 80 years.
Therefore, if you are 60, 70 or 80 years old, you are at the best level of your life.
However, with a little clarification: this applies to life in civilized countries with high incomes and medicine, so Russian pensioners can hardly be included in this category.
