I work in a nursing home. Two weeks ago we had a 107 year old woman die. A couple of months before we had another 107 year old die. We have lots of women in their mid-to-upper 90 year olds. A lot of them are in relatively good health. Anecdotal, I know. My grandmother was born in 1879 and lived to be 100.

It's in the genes, if you don't smoke or have a fatal accident you will probably have a long life as well.

My mom was born in 1911 and died at 97, her mom died at 95, her mom at 92, and her mom at 102. All of them except my mom raised large families and outlived their husbands by quite a few years. Unfortunately for me my dad's family didn't have good genes to pass on to their male descendants.
