Life Expectancy

Life expectancy is the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. For example, the life expectancy for people my age who were born in 2003-2004, have a different life expectancy than people born when my grandma was born, which was 1946. I think my generation has less of a life expectancy than my grandmother's generation. Even though we have better health care and more knowledge today, we also have a lot of bad things that are making us die quicker. For example, when my grandma was a kid, there wasn't any unhealthy fast food, her mom cooked at home and most of their food was fresh. Also, people were way more active than they are now because not everyone had cars so they had to walk, and they didn't have electronics to entertain them all day. Illegal drugs are also being abused way more now. As the US keeps developing and getting more tech savvy, I think we will soon end up something like the movie "Wall-E". The US is #42 in the life expectancy rank out of like 240 countries. The average life expectancy for men is 77.32 years old and for women, 81.97 years old. Monaco is the highest with 85.63 years old for men and 93.58 years old for women. The lowest is Chad with 48.64 years old for men and 51.03 years old for women. In all of these life expectancies, women have a higher age. Some reasons why women live longer than men are because of men joining the armed forces, having more dangerous jobs, being more aggressive and reckless, committing more crimes or being involved in crimes, and not going to the doctor as much. The US could have a much better life expectancy because we do have a lot of great knowledge and technology, but our poor health choices are the reason why we are ranked
#42.
