I'm speaking of course of Admiral Hackett.
And there's the fact that he, Anderson, etc are all considered old by people in-game, when technically only a third of their lives is over. Even Anderson referred to himself as being in his "Twilight years" in ME2.
And Garret Bryson was referred to as getting too old for long digs. But by the way medical advances and lengthened lifespans are portrayed, he should arguably be up for it for a few more decades.
And if the lifespan really is increased to 150 years, that would mean the oldest living human would have been born in the 2030-40s, but there's nothing about that in game lore.
Actually I think the "150 years life span" for humans in ME is kinda short.
Given the medical idea people already have (Aubrey de Grey) there is already a way (provided enough funding is availavle) to extend our lives by 30 years.
In the future, full developement of this tech could give us almost Asari like life span.
But we also have to take 2 things into account:
1) living up to 150-1000 years
or
2) living up to 150 -1000 years in a fully capable body that is resistant to effects of aging...
Those are two different things.
It seems ME life span of humans simply means the raw, nominal gap of 150 years, but being say 140 years old means you are alive, you retain your mental capabilities, but have senile system and simply feel and look old.
If the ME life span of humans was like the case 2) then we would surely see a lot of people over 100 who are not only alive, but still kickin' and fit.
Hence, Anderson and Hackett indeed were at the horizon of their retirement years, even tho' they were way before being 100 years old.

The guy talks about becoming a 1000 years old (or rather, living indefinetly), yet he looks about a 100 years old. Hilarious. And genius. His analogy that the human body is just like a car makes my heart beat faster. (which is not good, technically that should kill me faster
)
