Premature death paradox
Jeremy Kahn5y10

The statistics you are using are biased to refer only to the people who have survived until now. To refer to premature death, you need to compare an individual's lifetime with that of all people of roughly the same birthdate and birth conditions, including the negative life expectancy of those who are already dead.
