REPORT: Life Expectancy Charts Predict Biden Doesn’t Have Much Time Left

Life expectancy charts have been used to predict the remaining years of Joe Biden’s life, stirring up a wave of discussions and debates. The charts, sourced from the Social Security Administration (SSA), are based on actuarial life tables that provide statistical data on the average remaining years of life for individuals at various ages.

The SSA’s life expectancy charts are a part of the agency’s annual Trustees Report. They are used primarily for calculating Social Security benefits and are not intended as a tool for predicting an individual’s lifespan. However, they do provide a statistical perspective on life expectancy based on age and sex.

According to the 2022 Trustees Report, a male aged 80, the same age as President Biden, has an average remaining life expectancy of about 8.2 years. It’s important to note that this is an average figure, meaning that many individuals will live significantly longer, while others may not reach this age.

Biden, who turned 80 in November 2022, is the oldest person ever to serve as President of the United States. If he were to be re-elected in the 2024 presidential election, his second term would end in January 2029. By November 2028, Biden would be 86 years old. Despite the statistical averages suggested by the SSA’s life expectancy charts, it’s crucial to remember factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and access to healthcare can significantly influence an individual’s longevity.

However, Biden’s health has been under constant scrutiny since he took office. Just earlier today, Biden showed signs of confusion at the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, causing discomfort amongst observers and once again igniting concerns over his recurring public missteps and lapses.

While the life expectancy charts provide a general overview of longevity trends, they are not a crystal ball predicting the lifespan of any individual, including Biden. That said, reaching a certain age, and being fully aware at a certain age, are two separate things.

Given the average life expectancy, it’s not surprising that concerns about Biden’s age and health have been raised on multiple occasions. On a brighter note, there are plenty of examples of individuals outliving the predicted average. The oldest living person on record, Jeanne Calment, lived to 122 years and 164 days, far exceeding the average life expectancy for her age group.

As with any public figure, especially one holding the highest office in the land, Biden’s health and longevity will inevitably be a point of discussion and debate. It is, after all, part of the job.
