Fun With Math

Percent of Americans who reach 100
https://www.google.com/search?q=Percent+of+Americans+who+reach+100

About one in every 5,000 people in the
United States is a centenarian—some-
one who's 100 or more years old—and
about 85 percent of them are women.

As the New England Centenarian Study
has shown, centenarians age slowly,
delaying age-related diseases to much
later in life.

How many American men reach 100?
15% of 1 in 5,000 = 3 in 100,000
..15 multiplied times .0002 which = .00003
1 in 33,333

Put another way, Henry Kissinger reach-
ing age 100 is a rarity, with the fact that
33,332 out of of 33,333 American men
don't make it to 100, that's = 99.997% of
American men don't make it to 100.

How many American women reach 100?
85% of 1 in 5,000 which = 17 in 100,000
..85 multiplied times .0002 which = .00017
which = 1 in 5,882

Put another way, reaching age 100 is a
rarity for American women, too, so rare
that 5,881 out of 5,882 women don't
make it to 100, that's = 99.983% of Amer-
ican women don't make it to 100.
