The drop in U.S. life expectancy has put the country only a few years above the world average, while in 1960, it was 17 years ahead.

    Have you seen what white people eat and the average weight of white people and Asians in the US?

    Also that number is a bit disingenuous, should’ve compared Asian women to black women, Asian men to black men (edit: not saying that black people don’t have a much lower life expectancy than average, just that it’s a dishonest statistic for the article to compare against which hurts its credibility)

    Women live longer than men in every country because men are more likely to have heart issues and a bunch of other fatal issues later in life

        Oh yea, idk my brain kinda short circuited cause I just woke up and the parent comment was talking about Asian women and black men and then I was responding to an asian and white life expectancy comment

        I have no idea what any of us were trying to say tbh

          The point was women only live 4-5 years longer thsn men so thst cant be the reason why black men life expectancy is ~67 instead of 81
