Why is life expectancy falling in the USA?
More or Less: Behind the Stats
The average life expectancy of Americans is shrinking at an alarming rate.
Between 2019 and 2021, a staggering 2.7 years has been shaved off, leaving the revised figure at 76.1 years - the lowest itโs been in more than two decades.
It also sees the U.S. rank 46th in the global life expectancy charts, behind Estonia and just a nose ahead of Panama.
Paul Connolly is joined by John Burn Murdoch, Mary Pat Campbell and Dr Nick Mark to discuss why, on average, citizens of the worldโs richest country are dying so young.
