In the US, mental and substance-use disorders are the biggest factors to blame, along with musculoskeletal diseases that affect joints, bones and muscles. The discrepancy is even higher for American women, whose healthspan-lifespan gap is, on average, 2.6 years wider than their male counterparts’ – because they tend to live longer and are also more likely to have musculoskeletal conditions.
The paper is here
Weird comparison, since Lesotho is one of the worlds lowest on life expectancy. This also skew the comparison to other countries, and AFAIK Norwegians have way higher quality of life in the last years of living, despite living longer.
A better graph would be how many years are lived in good health.
Still impressive Americans manage to do so well, considering their shitty living conditions.
Second best third world country on the planet!
Wow, Bloomberg wasted no time in finding a study that sort of relates to the hugest issue of the day.
I love science, it's such a click honeypot. And best of all no one gives a shit if it was done by a reporter in five minutes of scrolling tweets or an actual academic body with credentials and ethics! It's "a study"! How much more official do you want, people?
Another for the pyre of "studies reported on that suggest something everyone knew many years ago"
this ain't news. it's been known for phht.. decades?
Yeah, but we gotta brag every once in awhile about being number 1.
Doesn’t this just imply that end-of-life care is more successful here? It doesn’t seem like a particularly useful statistic on its own.
No
