Why is life expectancy of USA men today so low?

That analogy only works if you assume the shop is doing repairs incorrectly, which is what the medical establishment is doing. Only a moron would believe that treating lifestyle diseases with drugs is promoting health.

Tony Fauci sh*t the bed.

You are right, wish you a peaceful death in your sleep tomorrow.

YOLO perhaps

I'm seeing a lot of answers that attribute this to things that most other developed countries have experienced equally e.g. Covid, modern working conditions, etc.

These things don't really explain why US life expectancy is low compared to other developed nations.

Having lived in the US, UK and Australia, I'd suggest it is most definitely related to diet. US portion sizes are enormous compared to other places, which sets people on a trajectory of overeating. I'm not sure if eating junk food is more prevalent in the US (I think it's more related to class in all three countries), but portion sizes are definitely different.

I do think that there's something to the "deaths of despair" phenomenon. However, all of the cultural issues that affect this, also exist in other developed nations, but a poor diet may exacerbate it (along with a few other variables) to a tipping point.

Australia, from what I’ve read in many reports, also has a serious obesity problem close to the one occurring in Great Britain, despite the fact that Australia is blessed with a great climate and great sports culture. Does this mean that the average Australian is unhealthy after the age of 35? Another problem these days in most developed countries is that children and youth in general are much less active compared to when I was a child and that also contributes to the health problem in general. Inactivity, overall, is very bad for one’s health. That being said, the biggest factor/metric is diet. Even if you exercise well, if your diet is rubbish (overall ), chances are that you will pay the price at some point down the road.

The ostriches on this thread claiming that you can't use comparison as a tool due to covid, not fair, some other nonsense.

Anerican men live 4 years less than British males on average, 8 years less than Swiss and Japanese men, 5 years less than Australian men. Your make life expectancy is on a par with other non first world developing countries. The US has most the traits associated with developing, non first World countries.

I don't know what bigger indicator you can have of this than people just not living very long. Other countries have obesity, drugs, suicide, covid, etc too. The US has poorer healthcare overall ie non universal, extreme poverty, higher levels of poor educational attainment and little social care network compared to proper first world countries. Its not just about healthcare.

You have extremely rich people and many well paid jobs but you also have far many more extremely poor people, often living on the streets (and dying on the streets) or in makeshift housing than many other countries. I couldn't believe the conditions I saw some people living in when I visited rural parts of idaho and Montana. It was what I would exiect to see in the poorer African nations or parts India. Do you think in Zurich or Geneva or Valais or Bern we have people dying in the streets or living in cardboard and tin shacks? Do you think if you go to Skane or Oterboten on Sweden it's like this?

Overall, you seem to have a badly organised country which leaves many of your citizens in extreme poverty. It seems to be an anomaly in the world today.

Sudden Adult Death from Unknown Causes, also known as Anything But "Vaccines." Mass depopulation event going world, minus places where the "vaccine" uptake was minimal such Africa and Middle East.

Can you break it down by demo/race in the US. We know black males have the lowest LE. If you take this out of the US average what does it do? Then perhaps address why that segment is so low= violence, access to healthcare, diet, exercise (how many non whites at local 5ks?).

On the other hand people in the US have access to excess so maybe they die sooner but happier!

1. Men die on average 7 years before women

2. Men are engaged in occupations with greater likelihood of injury or death vs. women

3. Modern society has evolved to the point physical activity is not necessary to survive.

Thus heart disease, diabetes and other preventable diseases are common.

81.1 - 76.1 = 5 year difference.

I think it was closer to 7 years ago

Lots of good reasons like diet, lack of exercise, non-universal healthcare etc. noted here but there is another important “materialistic” reason: money. Monaco has an anomalously high life expectancy at 89+ and has a GDP per capita of nearly $200K. The lowest life expectancy countries are the poorest African ones.

Of course money isn’t everything but it is a significant correlate. America has a good GDP per capita but the inequality means that there are many more poor people who can’t afford health insurance, good diet, exercise etc. compared to other economically similar western countries.

You’re a typical 20 something year old with no work ethic. If you hate work find something else to do for a career. I hated work when I was in my 20’s I worked my tail off for a paycheck that was like $375 every 2 weeks and thought my coworker at the restaurant that waited tables and mentioned he made $24,000 for the year was loaded. I hated it so much that I did something about it I joined the military to learn some real work ethic. I hit $21K my second year in and thought I finally made it. Fast forward 15 years I am now 40 and my household income is close to $200K for just career and if you add in other sources of income my wife and I average around $315K and we are still trying to find ways to grow. My thoughts get off the drugs, drink moderately, get proper rest. Find something you love in life educate yourself and constantly work on new ways to grow. The idea that you want to die around 40 is stupid. At 40 you are getting close to your financial prime once you hit 50 and 60 is the ages you can really enjoy life because you can finally afford it which is the reason why you see a 60-year-old driving a Ferrari. In your 20’s you shouldn’t be enjoying a fast paced high rolling life because you haven’t earned it yet!

Yeah join the military that will increase your life expectancy for sure.

You’ll also be driving a Ferrari in no time son.

I, me, myself, good, money, Ferrari.

Wrong. Cancer is a preventable metabolic disease linked to all the factors the previous poster listed. "Cancer care" in the U.S. is a racket just like all the other Pig Pharma profit scams. Preventative care is the personal responsibility of each of us in the reality of a broken and corrupt system.

Anyone who thinks that cancer can be eliminated with preventative care is an anti-science nutter.

I am an epidemiologist who specifically studies the role of metabolism, physical activity, and obesity in cancer incidence. And yes, these each play a role, but it is wrong to say that cancer is a wholly preventable disease. Metabolic factors like obesity, though associated with cancer risk, have very little predictive power regarding who will and who will not get cancer. Many regular weight, physically active, non-smoking folks will get cancer and they will never know why.
