The difference between 1930 and 2015 isn't as dramatic if you consider life expectancy IF you each 50.
In 1930 the average was 22.1 years (72.1)
In 2009 I was 31.3 years (to 81.3)
Still a significant difference but not as much as if you consider it from birth. Shows there was still a lot of infant mortality in the '30s.
