Life expectancy in USA reaches all time high
Posted on 6/4/26 at 7:32 am
Posted on 6/4/26 at 7:32 am
In 2024, life expectancy at birth in the U.S. increased to an all-time high of 79.0 years, up 0.6 years from 78.4 years in 2023.
In the U.S., life expectancy for women is 4.9 years longer than for men, on average.
However, the average life expectancy in comparable countries was 82.7 years, about 3.7 years longer than in the U.S., reflecting a persistently wide difference in life expectancy between the U.S. and comparable countries

Wonder what it was in 1929 and 1930 because my dad was 91 and 4+ months when he died and my mom was 90.5. Both obviously lived longer than life expectancy back then.

How old are you if your parents died in 1929/30 at 90?

Your parents were born in the 1840s?!?

Not polite to ask a lady her age, but I am a baby boomer.
I am the last of the litter.
8 years between me and their oldest child.
So, 60 something?

No. Do you have reading comprehension issues?
Dad: 1929
Mom: 1930
My maternal grandfather was born in 1890 amd the other grands 1904 - 05ish. Grandfather married the niece of his dead first wife when she was 20ish. He was 35.

Diversity and lifestyle choices?

There is no comparable country. We are our own unique fried chicken eating and beer drinking island of poor health choices

You suck the big one at reading comprehension and math.

Yep and on a side note..
Life insurance rates have dropped a little bit every year as life expectancy increased a little bit every year...that is until COVID when life expectancy in the U.S. dropped significatly and Life insurance rates had to increase.
We're finally seeing a turnaround

Life expectancy is the current average age at death, not a prediction of the future.

You are aware infant mortality plays a huge role in life expectancy, right?
And to answer your question

My pops is 84, born in 42, and worked in Exxon refinery for 40+ years. He's still pretty active and gets around well. I can see him living another 5 years easily.
My mother died two years ago at 82. She was in poor health for years and passed away from a massive heart attack. She worked indoor all of her life as a State employee.
Go figure.

No, your statement was very imprecise. The way your sentence read could easily be mistaken.
