I don't think the retirement age is determined by "medical prosperity." It is more the faculties that determine when a person needs to retire for a quality old age. I think today a 60 year old is sicker than 60 year old 50 to 70 years ago, thanks to the food industry.

There may be examples of that but I think most statistics suggest that generally people are living weller longer. And if they are sick for whatever reason, they can go on SS disability.
