Observational study so limitations may apply but the findings do hold after adjusting for a large list of factors I will quote here:

educational attainments, family history of dementia, menopausal status with hormone use status, total energy intake, regular antidepressant drug use, history of depression, BMI, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, neighborhood SES [socioeconomic status], marital status, living arrangement, smoking status, histories of hypertension, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia and intakes of sugar-sweetened beverages, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, poultry, fish, eggs, nuts and legumes, low-fat dairy products, high-fat dairy products, and alcohol

Oke? Age 45/50 is still the peak age to get eaten by a gigantic hungry animal.

Why is 45/50 the peak age to be eaten by an animal, a 50 year old, though old can still be a strong fighter. A baby or an old man, or pregnant female is a much easier target.

But that's not really an issue, humans were "meant" to live to their 70s. Data suggests that before we settled down to one place, that's when we died, the average is brought down by infant morality

I can never tell in situations like this if I'm actively being trolled, or if people just don't get my stupid jokes.
