The silent generation is interesting. Presumably the percentage is going up because the overall number of people remaining is significantly going down. Therefore we can conclude that being LGBTQ increases life expectancy.
It wouldn't really explain why the numbers went down first
I think if you are talking about a few percentage points then that is well in the margin of error (especially as these are different studies if I understand that correctly)
