Life Expectancy To Soar – But Not In The U.S.
The life expectancy has actually declined for the first time in 20 years in the U.S. It has dropped from 76.5 in 2014 to 76.3 in 2015 for men and from 81.3 to 81.2 for women. On the average American women now die about one month earlier than they did in 2014 and men have lost about two months of their lifespan. There were 86,212 more deaths in 2015 compared to 2014.
