I hate those type of stats that sound good but don’t actually express what they seem to express.
Instead of looking at the average age at death, I’d be much more interested in the average age if the population alive at a give point in time.

@Prunebutt says it right, it’s the advancements in medicine, but thats more reactively treating diseases than proactively lengthening the lifespan.
