Around age 70, the biblical "fourscore-and-ten." I have been spending time with several family trees on ancestry.com, and find that most people who achieved middle-age (40+) lived a bit past 80; unless they died of misadventure, or contracted Diabetes or another rapidly progressing disease. So this was Life Expectancy at 40, computed from a limited sample. (If we figured in dead babies/fetuses and early death in the hecatombs of the American Civil War, then Life Expectancy at Birth would come down enormously. But the resulting figure would be essentially meaningless because we'd be introducing fictitious and hypothetical elements.)
