Gen X are those born between the early 1960s and the early 1980s.

This generation has been characterised as being saddled with permanent cynicism.
Life expectancy increases in United States. In 2013 the life expectancy in United States increased to 78.84 years. That year, the life expectancy for women was 81.30 years and for men 76.50 years.
