 Protagonists in their late twenties or even older are still alive
in many senses of the word, and can still have adventures, of a sort.

Leaving out immortals or quasi/immortals:
Captain Henry of Laumer and Dickson's "Planet Run" is 135, though a dangerous rejuvenation treatment at the beginning of the book reduces his physical age.  He is not immortal as each treatment has an increasing chance of being fatal.
Louis Wu is 200 in the later stories.
Heinlein had quite a few older protagonists, even ignoring LL.  Jubal Harshaw, for example.
In Anderson's last Flandry book, the hero is rather getting on, though young for his age and Van Rijn is never young.
Vance's protagonists were a pretty active bunch, but IIRC Magnus Ridolph was at least in late middle age.
