he issue of declining life expectancy in the country has garnered increased focus in recent times, particularly during the pandemic, where the biggest decline since WWII was observed.
With the ongoing decline in life expectancy in the United States, a recent report reveals that Americans were at a disadvantage starting in the 1950s. Unfortunately, the situation has only worsened over time.
Furthermore, a recent American Journal of Public Health study highlights over 50 countries with better life expectancy rates than the U.S., and a few states within the U.S. may bear partial responsibility for this trend.

True, but that’s why most restaurants don’t drug test.
I worked at an upscale restaurant back in the day.
I’d say 90% were high, including management.
Side note, Biden belonged to this place…
Turn the page of that story and you’ll see the attitudes of todays employers are disgusting as well. The fact is that, sometime around the Gen Y and Gen Z, people became asses and not the productive four-legged kind and it’s showing up on both sides of the labor-management coin.

YOU ARE VERY SMART!!!
A common co-morbidity of many diseases from covid to diabetes to pneumonia is obesity. Both Black, white and Hispanic Americans are obese. Both men and women are obese. Both R and D are obese.
We can’t blame anyone but ourselves.
There are specific subgroups that are not so obese. Seventh Day Adventists come to mind. They have a healthy life style.
Primarily Alcohol but also legal and illegal drugs, promiscuous sex are another grouping. Alcohol and car deaths, alcohol and crime deaths, alcolhol and stupidity deaths and on and on. Whereas obesity kills people in their 50s and beyond, alcohol (and equivalent drugs) kill many their teens,20s and 30s.
Without accepting these two facts, we cannot change longevity.
I think it has to do with where the medical facilities are. I mean Boston, Chicago, NY and others have the places where great medical schools and hospitals are located. Allows for states near by to take advantage. Kentucky and Arkansas are not a bastion of the best hospitals in the country.
The jab is working! Population control!
Fetanyl is killing 175 people EVERY day. Then there’s the legalization and decriminalization of recreational drug use. Double digit increases in homicide rates are another factor. All of these causes hit hard on the youngest of society. They heavily skew downwards the overall life expectancy.
Living free does not include being compelled to take the government’s Death Jab. And that’s a great deal of the increased death rate.
Well, Kamel-a does want to reduce the population.
Meth, Heroin, Femayl, Crack the related mental illnesses running free in the streets will do that. Start executing dealers and smugglers and we can possibly start to recover.
Fentanyl. Geeze.
I think you’ve got it.
1) Racial demographics changing. For whatever reason (probably behavioral differences), whites have longer lifespans than blacks and Hispanics. Plus, the white percentage of the population is declining.
2) More single parent households.
Have these genius’ factored in the 20 million illegals Biden and the Marxist Dems have let into the Country?
It's not just the vax.
It's fentanyl. It's suicide, violent crime, alcoholism. It's obesity! The pandemic brought with it the first INCREASE in cigarette smoking in decades!
We are not a healthy people.
I think we can also thank the years of the food pyramid being the nutrition guideline schools were made to follow and that many people held to thinking it was healthier. This contributed greatly to rising rates of diabetes, heart disease, obesity, metabolic syndrome, and poor immune systems.
Sickest I’ve been in well over twenty or thirty years was Fauci Flu. At least twice.
Absolutely true. Obesity is a huge problem in the US. I just got back from Europe and the difference in body shape between Americans and Europeans is pretty appalling.
Democrats are dragging USA down to third world status.
