It would depend on how wealthy you were I guess poor people would have very simple diets and be pretty malnourished and they'd have to work all there lives to survive so probably eventually work themselves to death. And I guess those people were allowed to live by the "grace" of God. Funny how you dont see that now adays. In 1000 AD life expectancy was 24 years so I dont know if things would have been worse or better a thousand years before that.

That may be true, but you also have to take into account the amount of very early deaths that skewed those results though. Thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of babies and children died before the age of 5. If you had one person that lived to 70 and two babies that died at the age of 1, then the average life expectancy of the three would be 24 yrs. That is a very unreliable statistic my friend.
