    Of the 76M Boomers born between '45 and '69, 64M are still alive. With a life expectancy of 85 and the first traumch entering their 80s this year, we would expect to see a rapid fall off in the population (or a rapid climb in life expectancy average) over the next decade

      You have to be careful with life expectancy. The LE of someone who is already 80 is much higher than that of a newborn. There are actuary tables if you want to look for them.
