Tiberius Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 he life expectancy of men in the U.S. is nearly six years shorter than that of women, according to new research published on Monday in JAMA Internal Medicine. At least partially as a consequence of over 1 million Covid-19 deaths, life expectancy in the U.S. has declined significantly over the past few years, falling from 78.8 years in 2019 to 77 in 2020 and 76.1 in 2022 — undoing over two decades of progress. This puts the country far behind its wealthy peers: Countries such as Japan, Korea, Portugal, the U.K., and Italy all enjoy a life expectancy of 80 years or more. Countries such as Turkey (78.6) and China (78.2) also fare better. This falloff has become a key issue for the Food and Drug Administration. https://www.statnews.com/2023/11/13/life-expectancy-men-women/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve O Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 (edited) re women living longer - Women have always had a longer life expectancy, at least since that data has been collected. Honestly they're just stronger. Why do you think God chose them to bear children. re other countries have longer life expectancies - With all the fast and processed food we consume in this country combined with sedentary jobs and lifestyles it would be a surprise if other countries didn't have longer life expectancies.

That make sense? No. If that’s all it is, there would be no need to use an idiotic label like “toxic masculinity”. The word stupidity would work just fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
