"Will you still love me when I'm 164?"

There was a popular song long time ago(in 1960's, I believe) with the words in the subject above, except the age was 64 in the song then, and Sonia changed it to 164! I'll finish this after dinner. My wife is calling.
--------------------
Sonia quotes from "The health and wealth of the nations" by David Bloom, and Davi Canning;
"If there are two nations that are identical in all aspects except that one has 5 year-advantage in life expectancy, then the real income per capita in the healthier country will grow 0.3-0.5% per year faster than its less healthier counter part." The percentage might look small, but they are quite significant, since it is known that between 1965 and 1990, countries experienced an average per capita income growth of 2% per year, and Bloom and Canning numbers are based on only 5 year longevity advantage. If a country had a 30 to 50 year advantage then having a longer-lived population could generate enormous differences in economic prosperity.
---------------------
So,"Will you still love me when I'm 164?" may become a song you and I may end up singing If Google/Calico succeed fast enough or we live healthy long enough to catch the coming revolution.
---------------------
I checked Google and found that Paul McCartney of Beatles(How could I forget!) composed and sang it;
"When I am 64" --
When I get older losing my hair
Many years from now,
Will you still be sending me a valentine,
Birthday greetings, bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three,
Would you lock the door?
Would you still need me
Would you still feed me
When I'm 64? -------
