I recently had the opportunity to hear a presentation by Age Wave co-founder Maddy Dychtwald, who is a leading expert on quickly evolving demographic trends. In her talk, Maddy described the “longevity bonus,” which she defines as the 30 years added to people’s lifespans in the 20th century. These extra years keep increasing, as confirmed by a new report on mortality in the United States from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.
