Does this mean that until your 113th birthday you can expect to, on average, live to your next birthday?

For that you'd want to look at when the death probability exceeds 50% (108 for men, 109 for women). By 112 there's only a 40% chance you'll live to your next birthday

Actually I realized my original question was ill-specified, "average" being ambiguous. The median woman will live at least one more year as late as 108 but the mean will live at least one more year as late as 113
