Despite a common assumption that life in the Oval Office prematurely ages its occupants and speculation that it may even shorten life spans, a new statistical analysis has found that most presidents have actually lived longer than other American men their age. And all living presidents have either already surpassed the average expected life span or are likely to do so.
Experts on aging at the University of Illinois at Chicago gathered the evidence and concluded that 23 of the 34 presidents who died of natural causes 'lived beyond the average life expectancy for men of the same age when they were inaugurated.'
