The SSA has a neat Actuarial Life Table, which informs how long the average person of a specific age will live. As you get older, your average life-span actually increases, as we can now factor out that you didn't die at 0, 1, 2, 3, 4...38, 39 years of age.
The average adult male, 40, lives until they are 77, female 81.
My dad died at 77, but I assure you he was extraordinary, rather than average.
