What do you know about Life expectancy going down?
OVERALL life expectancy in America fell fractionally in 2017, from 78.7 to 78.6 years, according to data published recently by the US Centres for Disease Control. Underlying the drop was a bad year for influenza and a slight increase in the toll of Alzheimer’s disease. But more significant was an increase in suicides and overdoses, which added 2.4 more deaths per 100,000 Americans. I added this on the map because not only do it represent pain, but it is a representation of the causes it is having on the country. I would see this as a #bio and a #phsyco example because the leading cause is suicide, which would be physcological, but it could also be #bio because another leading cause is overdosing on drugs.
