minus-squareStrongHorseWeakNeigh@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 个月前That’s a bit of a misconception. The mean age is heavily skewed by the extremely high infant mortality rates. If you made it to 5 then you had a pretty good chance of living into your 60’s and 70’s.
minus-squaredaannii@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-21 个月前I’m pretty sure that’s not true. Life expectancy was pretty low for peasants. They literally had no doctors or dentist. Famine was common. Google says 30-40 years old. Medieval peasant lifespan. Infant mortality is not taken into account when determining this number.
