Death Rates For Young American Adults Up 71% In A Decade
Original: Death Rates For Young American Adults Jumped 71% In Just Over A Decade
New reporting says death rates among young adults in the United States jumped 71% in just over ten years, a sharp reversal from long-term trends of improving survival for younger age groups. The figures are drawing attention to causes behind the rise, with drug overdoses, suicides, and accidents among the factors researchers have previously linked to growing mortality in this age bracket.
Why now: The scale of the reported increase is alarming and challenges assumptions that younger generations are steadily healthier.
