Money Soles we all want our parents and grandparents to live long lives but sometimes we just haft to enjoy life with them so they can live life without fearing death so basically enjoy your life and when it happens it happens just enjoy your time together until it’s time we might not know when it’s happening but you shouldn’t really worry about that, your family members probably thought the same thing when they were younger but they got over it by doing what they want to do and have kids to take care of and again ( enjoying their/your life the way YOU want to )

The premise of this show: be the opposite of Dr. Oz.

In Canada our stupid government recently increase the retirement age for Old Age Security to 67 cause people are living longer, making it more sustainable, yadda yadda. Which is idiotic. Who needs that money the most? The poor. Who live the shortest lives? The poor. I'm pretty sure the old age security amount isn't fully clawed back until you make more than like 120k a year or something like that. So rather than lower that curve or something they bumped up the age. Rather than hurt the richer people who don't need it, he hurts the poor who do.

The main question is that how long can we live in good health. Who cares the life at age 86 if you are already blind and deaf??

im glad you covered this. Theres a whole documentary series called Unnatural Causes that talks about just this. Im currently taking a sociology class in health disparties so this topic has been of great interest to me as of late. Environment, Socioeconomic status, and education are huge determiners of health and i dont think many people realize it (I know i certainly didnt until i enrolled in the class).

Life expectancy is so rated wrong! My uncle died at 78 from cancer, long time smoker and drinker and many family members thought he died young, yet his wife, a longtime non smoker and non drinker died 4 years later at 82 and nobody thought she died early. It seems that 80 is the magic age to live a long life.

I'd be careful how you interpret the fact that high school dropouts aren't living as long as they did in 1990. This isn't necessarily a sign that things are getting worse for that group. Since overall education levels have increased, it's possible that economically better-off people who would have dropped out in 1990 were actually finishing high school by 2008, thus leaving the overall cohort of high school dropouts with the poorest of the poor. The same is true of the map. Maybe the wealthier, better-educated people in the Deep South and Appalachia were simply more likely to leave that region between 1990 and 2008 and head for better opportunities elsewhere. If this is the case, then it wouldn't actually mean health outcomes are getting worse for individual poor people. It would just mean that the category of "high school dropouts" or "residents of Appalachia" tends to be comprised of poorer people than it was in 1990.

I’m 53 and did a life expectancies calculator. I put o all the info and it said I’ll live to be 66. Wow that was a shock. But then thought about the 6 men from both sides on my family that all died by or before 60 with the exception of some uncles who lived into their early 70’s.

1.pregnant 2. Baby 3.toddler 4.kid 5.big child 6.teenage 7.young mid old adult 8. old person 9.older person 10. Die

Super interesting! PLEEEEAASE KEEP MAKING THESE!

These are all really good points Dr. Carroll makes. One way of looking at Life Expectancy at age 65, when comparing the US to other countries, is that there doesn't seem to be much of an overall difference. But that's not taking into account the tremendous resources we spend on health care. We spend far, far more on health care and even after age 65, we don't seem to be getting more or healthier life out of it.

What an excellent video! I didn't know about the life expectancy after age 65 metric and it was quite insightful. I very much appreciate your use of data in all your videos! Keep up the great work!

This video is amazing. I had never thought about it quite like this. Thank you for sharing with us!

Everyone has thought about this at some point in there life. It is interesting to see it starts when you are little and when your a baby it is important to be healthy and continue to grow and mature naturally. Its interesting to see how race and education comes into play and in some cases life expectancy is going down and I wish he talked more about what we can do to change it or prevent the situation.

Very informative video the facts on how expectancy of living is affected by whether your educated or uneducated impacts on life expectancy and adds a number of years to your life. The educated live another 10 years on top of the uneducated life expectancy. Another fact that was very informative was the life expectancy and how it continually dropping more and more as years and time goes on. I always figured by now they would have something to change that and turn the rate of going down into a positive rate.

More curious to me is how more education resulted in lowered life expectancy.

FOREVER! DAMMIT! I'll be good with 80 though, 86 would probably be ideal at this point.

I think the chart at 5:20 may be flawed. Does it control for socio economic status somehow? If not the

This is is just personal responsibility.

If you are told every full time employer is just trying to suck the live out of you why would you get a full time job that provides insurance? Why would you try at all if you live in a country where you can't starve?

for the graph at 6:15 project.wnyc.org/median-income-nation/#4/35.53/-86.66 to see average household income from 2008-2012. the years on the two maps don't match but it's a pretty map to look at.

I strongly agree with the fact that life expectancy has much to do with social class and income. People with lower income do not receive the medical treatment they need, proper nutrition, etc., simply because they cannot afford it. Middle class receives necessary medical treatment and nutrition. Upper class receives top of the line medical treatment and has the most advantage when it comes to proper nutrition. Although, yes, we have come a long way with treatment and providing said treatment to babies which helps them live longer and gives them a better survival rate, I believe very strongly that income has the most to do with life expectancy.

Healthcare Triage Looking at ( 5:40 ) the graph of education and life expectancy at birth, and I've got a question. Looking at the first group, less than 12 years of education, wouldn't it be skewed because it would necessarily include those who died before completing 12 years of education. Anyone who died before they graduated high school would be thrown into that group, including infant deaths. Wouldn't it be more meaningful to look at median or life expectancy at age 60 for education as well? Do you have this data?

Doc Nevyn Jeremy Streich It states life expectancy at birth, and studies were done in 1990, 2000 and 2008. I tried to check the full article, but its not available... but the abstract thankfully was: it states the data was measured in adults. So deaths at 17 and younger are not taken into account. what im wondering is how home schooling would affect this chart, and if its taken into account as well. Or left out. Most states force kids to go to school until a certain age. Assuming you go to school at age 4 and drop out at 16 - puts you in the 2nd graph... So who is in the first graph? im guessing since it also measures people around the 90s, these school leaving age is fairly recent, so some elderly people currently walk around with fewer years of education? I do think dividing by years of education, though showing significant results, is a little odd to do when school criteria differ from state to state... Is a year in state A really equal to a year in state B? Does your year in 1980 match the same year in 2000? Of course not... I guess thats why its an average...

Far fewer people don't finish high school today than in decades past, so nowadays being a high school dropout is comparatively much worse and the only people who are high school dropouts are very poor. It could be that the reason high school dropout life expectancy go worse is because many people got more educated and left that data group.

really good video

Am I right in thinking that the life expectancy of a particular demographic in a particular time and place more precisely describes the mean lifespan of a hypothetical population that is subjected, throughout its life, to the same death rate as members of that demographic at that age were in that place at that time? For instance, if we were to say "the male life expectancy in Gloucestershire in 1990", we would mean the mean lifespan of a hypothetical cohort that, at in there first year of life had the same survival rate as boys in there first year of life in Gloucestershire in 1990 did, and who, at age 25, had the same mortality rate as 25 year old men in Gloucestershire, in 1990 did, and who, at age 80, had the same mortality rate as 80 year old men in Gloucestershire in 1990 did.

Well that just changed my world

5 weeks, i have some really mean debts.

If more of the increase in life expectancy (at least on the United States) has been due to a decrease in early deaths than to an increase in old age survival, wouldn't that mean the "inequality" in lifespans has been falling?

Speaking of education being a proxy for socioeconomic status, isn't "socioeconomic status" just a fancy proxy for income? Occupation and education are factored into SES, but coincidentally the high SES occupations are nearly all high paying and the low SES occupations are nearly all low paying? Education also correlates to income. Given that, isn't the "socio" part of SES is just justification for income disparities? Can we just call it "economic status" and quit kidding ourselves?

He's just justifying why we need to switch to a different metric if we want to discuss _adult_ health care accurately.
