Why is life expectancy on the decline?
No progress in over two decades. Before that life expectancy only kept on increasing, but now its declining.
Whats wrong with the current crop of medical scientists? Why are they so incompetent?

Obesity still on the rise keeps it lower than "comparable countries" and COVID + our politicized response to it killed off a bunch of oldies that probably had a couple years left in them around 2020.

Also healthcare is an overpriced mess (not saying that socialized is better, you just pay taxes rather than paying for what you need) while inflation has reduced purchasing power so a lot of people delay or put off diagnostics and procedures they can't afford.

this is what happens when every shit is allowed in the food sector and environmental toxins and emissions remain unlimited and companies are allowed to leave behind or dispose of waste without hesitation.

>Braindead garbage
The graph doesn't show anything about who is at risk of what nor does it invite discussion more intelligent than 'follow The Science' or 'take another booster' . Garbage in garbage out.

I read that it was mostly suicide and opiate overdoses.

Food regulation in the USA is pretty good for base ingredients. Bread can only have this and that. If you cut something like cheese, you can't call it cheese, you can call it "cheese product" or "singles." But with more processed food (premade meals and fast food) it's easier to skimp quality and hide what you've done to it.
The food isn't even the killer. The processing just makes you fat (all the added sugar and fat) without filling you up (all the nutrients have been removed). This is by design. Being fat will kill you. You could eat McDonalds and vitamins/fiber suppliments and in theory you could do the math right to have something like a healthy diet but I wouldn't try it.
There is one exception and that's pesticides You can dodge this by buying organic. I've heard spraying glyphosate/round up is a big cause of "inflammation" and that "many diseases are variations of inflammation".
>if glyphosate was bad we would have 50% of people have cancer in their lifetime!
>oh wait
>>
In the US it's largely due to suicides/overdoses of white Americans.

Fun fact: Latinos have a higher life expectancy than whites despite depite being much poorer. So Hispanic immigration actually offsets somewhat an even greater total decline.

Obesity has dropped already because of Ozempic. Stopped reading there.

WHY INCREASE YOUR LIFE SPAN WHEN YOU CAN JUST HAVE CHILDREN!!!
>>
>>16456104
I bet this retarded sounding anon is actually a smart evolutionary biologist. Basically if you're a species that invests in offspring your time is up about 16 years after getting children at 16. Why live longer than 32? Well apparently evolutionary pressure has not been so wild that evolution optimized genes for until 32. Furthermore tribes with elders may have been more reproductive than tribes without elders because after passing on their genes they are still useful for passing on memes. Thanks anon for all your wisdom in such a simple sentence. We're all enlightened now.

nice going science
you took centuries of progress, halted it and threw it into reverse
good job

Probably the fact that all (((western))) nations are doing their damnedest to shorten their citizens lifespans? Just a guess.
>>
>>16456102
Which is stupid because the graph only goes through 2022. If Ozempic is going to impact life expectancy, one way or the other, it's not going to show up in 2022 numbers.

Childhood mortality always throws off the averages in charts like the one in OP, most people who are more serious about the topic look at life expectancy after 50 rather than raw life expectancy to get a clearer picture of the issue, however its not hard to figure out that since childhood mortality is still on the wane, the data displayed in OP is even more ominous than it looks.
Childhood deaths drag down the raw life expectancy averages massively, as those death occur less frequently now than they used to and since less children are being born, the average raw life expectancy should be climbing even if life expectancy after 50 was stagnant, instead it is declining, so life expectancy after 50 must be really crashing pretty hard

This is just the long term effect of not paying off our national debt while sponsoring things like DEI and having the systems in power encouraging crime.

With life expectancy declining that means you get more than a year closer to death for every year you live.

>environmental toxins and emissions remain unlimited and companies are allowed to leave behind or dispose of waste without hesitation.
the so-called environmental movement only cares about stopping CO2, which isn't even a toxin or aa pollutant, its plant food that enriches the environment

u guys are retarded
99% chance this is counting premature deaths like overdose. there were like 100k overdoses on avg between like 2018-2020

We're just close to the hardcap. Longevity, like everything else that matters, is genetically predetermined.

Immigrants have actually offset the decline because Latino immigrants have higher life expectancies than American citizens, dumbass. Without immigration the decline would have been sharper.

Life expectancy data is unreliable due to pension and social security scams

Governments and companies figured out that it is cheaper to have old people die out sooner before they are forced to pay for their pension.
>>
>>16478902
Its also badly skewed by child mortality.
The people who actually study topic like life expectancy tend to rely on the metric "life expectancy at 50" which the expected remaining years of life for someone who didn't die before they were 50 years old
