No one was going to just up and die of old age at 40, but there were a lot of things out to get you.

AYRT- Yup, I completely agree with this, too. Living to 80 did not make you Methuselah, but acting like people who survived infancy and whatever plague or fever was currently out to get them that decade were home free and were going to live to be octogenarians isn't remotely accurate either.

Hell, even if a person managed to dodge illness, disability, childbirth, infection etc., for most people just basic living was a lot harder than it is today. Nutrition was often poor, living conditions and working conditions could be unhealthy and exhausting, the pervading stresses and sorrows of hard-living wore heavily on people. Even the limited scope of most people's freedom, and their limited ability to learn and experience new things undoubtedly took a heavy toll on their overall wellness. Most of those things affected the poor a dozen times harder than they affected the rich, but living in the past was no picnic for almost anyone, and making it into your eighties was no mean feat.
