A specific salt of EDTA, known as sodium calcium edetate, is used to bind metal ions in the practice of chelation therapy, e.g., for treating mercury and lead poisoning. It is used in a similar manner to remove excess iron from the body.
On average, working Americans expect to retire at age 66, four years later than the average age of retirement, according to Gallup. The expected retirement age has also gradually climbed over the years, starting at 63 in 2002 and peaking at 67 in 2012 before settling at 66 for 2013 and 2014.
For example, for workers born in 1944 (the cohort that attained Social Securityâs normal retirement age of 66 in 2010), the CRR methodology yields an average retirement age of 62.2 for men and women combined (Figure C). However, the labor force participation rate for this cohort peaked at 84.3 percent at age 46.
