What you want is 'historical adult mortality rates'.
Here is a l;ink to a Google search on that:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%27historical+adult+mortality+rates%27&btnG=Search&hl=en&sa=2
However, such population data was not recorded until relatively recent
times. So it depends on your definition of 'old times'.
But people had an expectation that a man's life span, post childhood, would
be 'four score and ten' or ninety years. Anyone who survived childhood
probably was hardy enough to live long.
God bless you always, all ways,
