There’s no puzzle as to why ’66 is so long-lived compared to the general population. The same can be said about ’65, ’57, and all Ivy League graduates plus comparable schools. We are better educated, have better medical care, eat more carefully, are less likely to smoke, have better-than-average careers and thus better-than-average incomes. There would be something odd if we weren’t longer-lived than the average American. So the data is totally correct.
