"The USA is the IHME index’s biggest loser among high-income countries falling from 43rd in 2016 to 64th in 2040, due to an increase of just 1.1 year – from 78.7 to 78.9 years."
I would have made that the headline.
- krrrh 8y agoIt’s usually not good form to put a typo in the headline. They must mean an increase from 77.8 to 78.9. And still the journalist can tell that this is all highly scientific and worth reporting on because of the decimal precision. A better article would also look at the predictions made by similar bodies 22 years ago and how well they have held up.
