for your birth cohort.

Based on actuarial data from the Social Security Administration (SSA) and cohort life tables from the National Center for Health Statistics (CDC), approximately 82% to 84% of Americans born in the 1958–1959 birth cohort are still alive today. For Americans born in 1958–1959, who are turning ages 67 to 68 in 2026, the survival rates are:
• Females born in 1958–1959: Approximately 86% to 88% are still alive.
• Males born in 1958–1959: Approximately 78% to 80% are still alive.
• Combined Total: Roughly 82% to 84% of the original birth cohort survives today.
