• Were they suppose to on average to become 95 ?

    As @gu_h-àrd_gruber_an_cult has pointed out, it's not quite how the averaging works, but at the same time: that's not as unreasonable as you make it sound. Swedish overall life expectancy is 'just' about 82 years, true. But that's at birth. If you are already 82, the expected number of years to your death hasn't dropped to 0.

  • Yeah, that thing where if you make it to 82 your chances of making it further are pretty good. Similar - if you make it to 40 in some African countries, you are still likely to go on to your 70s, despite the average life expectancy being 50 something.
