I have a cousin who is 57 and both his parents are alive.

My dad was also 57 when both his parents were alive before my grandpa passed away.

So how old is the person and how old are his parents (approximately)?

My great uncle just passed away in August, he would have been 100 in September. His wife is still alive. Their kids are around my moms age and she's 65. Not relevant now, but a couple of months ago it would have been them

To have both parents around at 70 is quite rare today. It was more common 100 years ago.

The average lifespan 100 years wasn't even 70. It was 57. The average lifespan is now 76.

How so? The average lifespans in 1923 were 56 and 59 for male and female, respectively.

I'm 66. When I was a kid there weren't many 66 year olds around.

My mom was 67 before either of her parents died. They were both in their 90s when they died.

My mom was 64 when her dad died. Her mom died when she was 69. Her stepmother passed just last week in her 90s, I think 95. My mom is now 79.

A cousin is 66 or has both of his parents are alive. His parents are 82 (aunt) later this year and uncle who's a few years older. Don't know his age because they divorced long ago.

My paternal grandfather was 77 when his 98 year old mother died. His father died when he was an infant though.

I had all 4 of my grandparents until the age of 25. Two passed in their late 80's and two early 90's.

What?

Do you need me to explain? I thought you could figure this out on your own.

I was 3 when I lost my first grandparent. I don't even remember my maternal grandmother.
Lost all of them at age 37.

You obviously can't and have no clue of what you're saying. So, 100 years ago, the life expectancy was significantly higher than it is today?

No wonder you have such an issue with women - they likely have told you how dumb you are your entire life!!

I'm 57. Dad will be 84 in January. Mom is 82. Dad says he wants to hit triple digits. They have both had some health issues but modern medicine seems to be doing the trick so far.
