    The life expectancy in the US is also dragged down by other factors. The US is a huge outlier in several other aspects:

    • Higher death rates from smoking, obesity, homicides, opioid overdoses, suicides, road accidents, and infant deaths, compared to other countries.
    • Additionally, deeper poverty, economic inequality.

    It could just be that the US has way more vices per capita than other countries.
