Death Rates for Younger Americans Up 71% in a Decade
Original: Death Rates for Americans Ages 25-44 Jumped 71% in Just Over a Decade
New analysis finds that death rates among Americans aged 25 to 44 have risen 71% in just over ten years, a stark reversal for a group whose mortality had long been declining. The figure is drawing attention because of its scale and the range of suspected drivers, including drug overdoses, suicide and chronic disease, which are likely to fuel debate over causes and policy responses.
Why now: The sheer size of the reported increase in working-age adult mortality is alarming and unexpected.
