You are right, healthcare improvements have translated into enormous slowdown of generation exchange on the top. The average age of CEOs of the largest 500 companies in the world at hire has grown 14 years between 2005-2019 [0], i.e. no generation exchange at all. Looking at the American politics, the combined age of Trump and Biden exceeded 150 in the last election, first such event in American history. Given that they both may be running again ... oh, well. And in the Czech presidential election, the winner (61 y.o., with a grandfatherly gray mane) defeated a 68-y.o. challenger. Putin is over 70, Xi is over 70, the Pope is over 80, the freshly crowned British king only stopped being "prince" at 74. Now add some more longevity progress onto the table and the once-famously geriatric Brezhnev politburo may start looking like a kindergarten. I can definitely see some members of the American Senate or SCOTUS exceeding 100 by 2050.
