> average life expetency is 76
Unless your Northern Europe is Kaliningrad or somewhere else in Russia, 76 is the average life expectancy for men and at birth (that's in the Baltics, the rest of Northern Europe has higher life expectancy than that at birth). Life expectancy is much higher than that at 50 or 60, and also higher for women.
Generally, in the Northern and Western Europe I know, people with a "normal" life without special health problems don't seem very old at 60 or 70, and they expect to live to around 80 or more.
Even in the US which is notorious for low life expectancy among OECD nations, the average age of death (from a quick Google search) seems to be 85[0].

- askonomm 3y agoI admittedly made a quick google for Estonia, i.e Baltics, and it could've very well been only for men indeed. I must say however that the average age of death and average life expectancy being two different things is a bit confusing to me.
