By that metric and the life expectancy of a male in the USA today being 77, the minimum age for a presidential candidate should be 71 years of age.  I guess even Biden doesn't seem THAT old, anymore.

When I was looking for that answer I saw one page that said that 40 year average was including infant mortality and many people lived well into the 60's and 70's and beyond.

*PROBABLY* the more well off...but still.
