1972 is the most recent presidential election in which the Democratic nominee for president is no longer alive. 2008 is the most recent presidential election in which the Republican nominee for president is no longer alive, a difference of 36 years.

1988 is the most recent presidential election in which the Democratic nominee for Vice President is no loner alive. 1996 is the most recent presidential election in which the Republican nominee for Vice President is no longer alive, a difference of only 8 years.

The losing tickets of the four most recent elections (2016, 2012, 2008, and 2004) had a Vice Presidential nominee who was younger than the Presidential nominee. The winning tickets in 2012, 2008, 2004, and 2000 each had a Vice Presidential nominee who was older than the Presidential nominee)
