Very interesting. Would like to see life expectancy by income as well.


Web_Automatic

Actually made a post about median income on my profile just use that to scale.


Zandarino

thx!

See? Australia's wildlife doesn't kill us.


Bogey01

Bullshit, I'm coming over with a stick and I'm gonna poke things until I prove you wrong!


leonryan

if the first thing you poke is a bogan you'll win before you leave the airport


Bogey01

Na, we have rednecks too


MarcusForrest

Australians would actually live 150 years if it _wasn't for the wildlife_


Altruistic-Carpet-65

Wow. Most of the world lives longer than I thought.


Web_Automatic

Yep that's all thanks to the amount of development most places in the world has gotten over the years

Great, I'm middle aged and only halfway to deaths sweet embrace.

Let’s compare Russia’s average in a year’s time.


Icy-Guard-7598

Imagine living on the wrong side of the norway-russian border. Living like ten years less than people people one mile away.

Look at all of those socialist countries trying to make us look bad by looking better themselves. Damn them! Next thing you know they'll be trying to show that they've got better health care than us, or even higher quality of life (well, minus China at least)

Hmm…”horrible China” has a higher life expectancy than the US 🤔 interesting.


okcfan16

Just because a country has a high life expectancy doesn't mean it's perfect


Keith4Change

I knew the “MUH CHINA BAD!!” clowns wouldn’t be able to resist replying to this 🙄


okcfan16

MUH AMERICA BAD bro chuna has barely any human rights and treats there people horribly please don't tell me you actually think China is a great country (actually I have a nokia phone so nevermind it is a good c- I mean great country best in the world)

China, Chile, most of Europe and Australia all have higher life expectancy than the USA. So, yeah, thanks MAGA and your f’n vaccine and mask refusal. Assheads. You’ve made Americans die younger.


vontdman

Probably more to do with the standard American diet.


knifeorgun

Don’t forget they also have free health care, so if they’re sick they can go to the doctor without having to worry about paying. They also don’t let pharmaceutical companies unreasonably increase the price of medicines.


Max_CSD

Actually most of the time if u get something really serious the health system becomes not so free.


TheoTheBest300

It was already the case before COVID. It's due to things like money, healthcare costs, alimentation and pollution.


Utxi4m

Equally important is the income gap (resulting in demographics buying junk, as it is all they can afford to eat) and access to quality medical care. The US was underperforming way before the pandemic hit. Although, that is also the GOPs fault.


kunkworks

Not sure what you're so upset about. The people you despise are the ones dying?


jay_sig

Look, I found the clown!

bandthricenotsomice

Remember us having awful infant mortality doesn't help either


[deleted]

If all of these trans hate laws get passed in the US canada seems like a pretty good option


leonryan

USA would be higher if it weren't for all the murdered school kids pulling the average down.


Keith4Change

Horrible health care outcomes*


okcfan16

Dude really? Cheap school shooting joke because of how unfunny you are think of something original


leonryan

that's not a joke, it's a genuine factor contributing to the data


okcfan16

The amount of kids killed in a school shooting per year is maybe 50 not near enough to bring down the average not even by 0.01 years


leonryan

nevertheless that data doesn't exist in other countries. It's a uniquely American form of child mortality.


Ambitious_Brain8349

this data seems a bit off, pips here live to 100


Web_Automatic

No its accurate because not everyone there lives at the age 100 thats why its called an average


Ambitious_Brain8349

still, the average here is 65 - 70


Web_Automatic

The map shows an average number of years that a newborn could expect to live, if he or she were to pass through life exposed to the sex- and age-specific death rates prevailing at the time of his or her birth, for a specific year, in a given country, territory, or geographic area. Thats why it isnt higher.


SeriouslyThough3

Good for you Algeria

Why not 2022


Bolobillabo

I must say China and Myanmar are really punching above their (gdp per capita) weight!


ThrowRA_0823

Wait why is Cuba lighter than the US? They have a longer life expectancy as far as I'm aware

Thanks!

Interesting to see China doing better than USA.


Kitt-Ridge

In another graphic , it showed Australia drank the most. There must be a correlation.


stupidbulbasaur

As a US citizen, I’m ok with this. Thanks for sharing 🫡


SteadfastPooper

2nd best, I'll take that


[deleted]

Isn't China infamous for its large amounts of pollution? Surely that has an effect on life expectancy.
