Many researchers believe that human lifetime in the interval from 20 to 80 years is approximately described by the Gompertz distribution. It is natural to consider the problem of the distribution of the residual human lifetime at the final stage, that is, after 80 years. To do this, in this study, a statistical analysis of some statistical models on real data is carried out. Several models are presented, which, according to the authors, can adequately describe data on mortality after 80 years.
