Life expectancy declines

2016-12-08 18:04:41.986934+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

US life expectancy declines for the first time since 1993. The article says that:

Rising fatalities from heart disease and stroke, diabetes, drug overdoses, accidents and other conditions caused the lower life expectancy revealed in a report released Thursday by the National Center for Health Statistics. In all, death rates rose for eight of the top 10 leading causes of death.

And the accompanying graph suggests that most of the loss of life expectancy is below age 65.
