I think they were just going off US averages. Our average lifespan has been declining past few years but it's pretty close to 75 if you're poor.

Gabe hasn't always taken care of his body, but he's rich, he'd be likely to hit around 88 in the US. The average lifespan in New Zealand is also a bit higher, so if he stays there then it may add a few years.

Unless you're a doctor, I think you shouldn't get into medical diagnostic. My grandpa smoked 2 packs a day and lived up to 95., my other grandpa was walking 10 km a day and never smoked, he died at 72.

Yeah, anecdotes are a thing, one of my grandpas smoked a pack a day too and he beat yours and made it over 100. Our personal experiences don't trump collected data though, we're not the average experience and we can expect most to trend towards that.
