......but looking at this chart (if accurate) the biggest way to get such a dramatic difference is to lose young life which brings down a general life expectancy age more quickly.
Thus, I would suspect, the opioid epidemic, Chinese fentanyl ....drugs in general combined with sky rocketing murder rates in the cities, and increasing suicide rates of young teens is the real cause here along with obesity/sedentary life style.
