What is life expectancy and how is it used to determine population economics? Each science may look at life expectancy differently when planning or organizing.
Americans are now expected to live an average of 78.8 years
Consider this also, life expectancy varies to many different circumstances, lifestyle, occupation, health etc… Close to 3 million people die a year in the U.S It will exceed this number if you take into abortions. This is in no way to say it is normal but it is our current situation. It couild be more and we wish it was less. If an epidemic was to occur and 6-10 million people were to die a year it could become the norm. That’s a scary site!
The medical field would be in disarray. It is an enevitable event.
What is our current situation? The number one leading cause of death is heart disease. Cancer came in second. If the community could learn how to reduce heart disease it could lower the annual death rate tremendously. I say this because chronic lower respiratory disease, stroke and kidney disease may circle around the leading cause of death.
Let’s become aware of the causes of heart disease and implement a healthy lifestyle that may help us from being a statistic to the number one leading cause of death. While no one can escape death and there are many other environmental factors that can occur we can learn how to avoid the common causes of death. There is no need to rush ourselves into the grave!
