Life Expectancy in the USA (Bad and Getting Worse)

Given how Ozempic will destroy McDonald’s’ business

Really?! McDonald’s is going down…along with all the other food franchises?? Ozempic-caused decrease in the public’s appetite leads to massive layoffs and job losses! Goodness Gracious!

@RapAdmin

symbiotic relationship doesn’t mean a conspiracy. Their interests now seem to be diverging.

Really? I’ll believe it when I see it.

Could be the “good cop, bad cop” routine.

Its early… but hopeful…

Hey, that was Morgan Spurlock (that drunk bastard). He was a martyr. He died for our fast-food sins.

I am going to save McDonald’s.

Routine accessibility of statins in establishments providing unhealthy food might be a rational modern means to offset the cardiovascular risk. Fast food outlets already offer free condiments to supplement meals. A free statin-containing accompaniment would offer cardiovascular benefits, opposite to the effects of equally available salt, sugar, and high-fat condiments.

McStatin, make it happen.

Can a statin neutralize the cardiovascular risk of unhealthy dietary choices?...

I don’t think that Big Pharma and Big Food work together

What did I tell you? One of the Pfizer Boys (@AnUser ) from Big Pharma working to save McDonalds (Big Food). Not in cahoots you say? It’s right there for the whole world to see.

McStatin

Would you like some McStatins with that order Sir?

@AnUser , absolutely, and a side of bempadoic acid please.

Would appear to correlate with average income.

Which explains why my state of Missouri sucks so badly in life expectancy. Ranked #37 Hahaha!

Generally poor as dirt…

The report the Axios map is based on is found @
https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr73/nvsr73-07.pdf More interesting breakdowns in this report - For example Life expectancy at age 65: Each state, District of Columbia, and United States, 2021

[DeStrider]

If you make it to 65, you can expect to make it to 83. Based on life expectancies in other countries, I’d say 85 is a normal expectation for life expectancy.

So, if Rapa + Metformin (Acarbose) increases life expectancy by 15-20%, you can expect a life expectancy of about 95-100. Not bad.

[RapAdmin]

Its interesting… rather than looking at population statistics (which I do find interesting, if a little depressing), for our personal scenarios it seems better to look at your immediate family longevity as far as starting points for your personal longevity (I’m open to counter arguments…).

It seems if we take the average lifespan of our parents, or grandparents, that you get a reasonable idea of what types of longevity genes you may have (or not have), then adjust up or down for life experiences/stress, diet, exercise habits, etc. both of our family members and ourselves - and you can get some sort of reasonable guesstimate of expected longevity as a baseline, then hopefully we’ll be able to add another 10% to 30%+ with longevity drugs, and other therapies available now, and coming down the pipe in the near future.

Most of my grandparents live to their late 90s, with little exercise and some level of smoking, but obviously no processed foods, they had gardens in the backyard, etc. and good nutrition. Relatively thin and healthy, but nothing outrageous. Similar story for my parents, but more smoking, drinking, and heavier weights though not too obese, and no metabolic issues.

So, I’m thinking as a baseline my longevity is likely to be high 90s to low 100s - I exercise much more, diet probably better than parents, perhaps better than grandparents. So, perhaps with longevity medications and therapies a reasonable target might be 110 to 120? We’ll see. Its a fun and interesting journey in the meantime.

[DeStrider]

Unfortunately, most of my grandparents died of cardiovascular issues (blood clot at 75, prostate cancer at 78, heart failure at 85). If my parents and I nuke our ApoB and LDL to the 30s-40s, I doubt that would be an issue. I’m thinking 85 is probably the number in my family, so 100 is the new target.

@RapAdmin You’re in a good place to challenge Jeanne Calment! You can be our Longevity hero and break the barrier!

Abstract

• Goal: Compare health system performance in 10 countries, including the United States, to glean insights for U.S. improvement.
• Methods: Analysis of 70 health system performance measures in five areas: access to care, care process, administrative efficiency, equity, and health outcomes.
• Key Findings: The top three countries are Australia, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, although differences in overall performance between most countries are relatively small. The only clear outlier is the U.S., where health system performance is dramatically lower.
• Conclusion: The U.S. continues to be in a class by itself in the underperformance of its health care sector. While the other nine countries differ in the details of their systems and in their performance on domains, unlike the U.S., they all have found a way to meet their residents’ most basic health care needs, including universal coverage.

Terrific stuff thanks for sharing.
