Not really, there's further age tiers.
Childhood, most dangerous by far. Adolescents are safer but still die at high rates. Young adults die often to injuries and infections but generally make it to adulthood, and adults generally make it to seniority but none of it is near-guaranteed like in a modern society.
It's always just probable.

The ancient Greeks a couple of generations after agriculture arrived called the tribal past the golden age when gods walked among men. Early English explorers in America called the natives more splendid than an English gentleman in all his finery.
