In the United States observed a decrease in life expectancy of people
Source:In the United States increased the number of deaths among people 25 to 64 years
The United States is considered one of the richest countries in the world that allocates a huge amount of money on health care for its citizens. However, recently the magazine has published the results of the study proved that in recent years the life expectancy of Americans is beginning to decline. According to statistics, in 2013, Americans on average lived about 78,9 years, but today the figure is 78,6 years. The difference may seem insignificant, but researchers say that the duration of life of the residents of some States will continue to decline. The reasons for the increase in mortality was slightly, and one problem is a few others.
According to study author Stephen Wolfe, many believe that the high level of development of medicine necessarily mean . However, the database on deaths in the U.S. over the past 50 years suggests otherwise. According to statistics, life expectancy in us States from 1959 to 2014 has grown rapidly, but in the last three years of the deaths became much more. It is noteworthy that the risk of sudden death affects people aged 25 to 64 years, with the most healthy citizens. But why did they start more likely to die?
Why people are more likely to die?
The increase in the number of deaths is observed particularly in the region of New England and Ohio. The researchers noted that the residents of these areas have suffered from economic changes that arose due to the closure of factories. People have lost their jobs and lost the opportunity to receive a stable wages and live in comfortable homes. This problem resulted in such terrible consequences as people addicted to alcohol and drugs, as well as the increase in the number .
Factors Such as unstable work and earnings cause psychological disorders and lead to diseases and death, — explained Professor Howard Koh of Harvard University, who was not involved in the study.
In particular, the researchers noted that between 1999 and 2017, the number of deadly drug overdoses has increased by almost four times. Also, according to them, during this period of time the number of suicides among people 25 to 64 years increased by 40%. The greatest damage to human health, according to the statistics, alcohol causes the deaths caused by the abuse of alcohol has increased by as much as 160%.
This study is another proof of the harmfulness of alcohol
If this trend continues, employers will be less healthy, less productive workforce, which are more likely to die prematurely compared to workers in other countries, concluded the study's author Steven Wolff.
The research I doubt that the average life expectancy will increase again by itself. To do this, at least, state governments should provide people with permanent jobs. It is possible to get a reliable source of income, people will be able to get rid of addiction to alcohol and drugs, resulting in mortality is again reduced to the original performance.
However, to reduce the number of deaths only one job creation is unlikely. The fact that the insufficient wage, some people can apply for a few jobs that also have a negative impact on their health. Tight schedule won't allow them to sleep, that will subsequently cause cardiovascular disease. Read more on the relationship between sleep deprivation and fatal heart disease can be found in .
