We are not living longer, fewer infants / kids are dying.

  True. The interesting stat would be expected lifetime at retirement age.

    You can find the info here: https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/lifeexpectancies/datasets/nationallifetablesenglandreferencetables https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde... There was a steady rise in life expectancy at retirement age in the UK until 2020, then something happened and it's fallen significantly. My guess is that it will rise rapidly over the next 15 years and this will be regarded as some sort of triumph for the public health system (unless there is another pandemic of course).
