flag 2021 study: US has the lowest life expectancy among English-speaking nations at 78.8 years, with higher rates of preventable deaths.

flag A recent study reveals the US has the lowest life expectancy among English-speaking nations, with Americans living 78.8 years on average. flag Australia consistently leads the English-speaking world in life expectancy for the last three decades, while the US has lagged since the early 1990s. flag One of the main reasons for the shortened American lifespan is the higher rate of preventable causes of death, such as drug overdoses, car accidents, and homicide. flag Australia's stronger gun control laws, healthier lifestyle habits, and more extensive public health and healthcare access could serve as a model for improving the US's life expectancy and reducing inequalities.
