One nit I have about Life Expectancy, it should also include quality of life.
By that I mean, it you are unable to take care of yourself, I think Life Expectancy should be adjusted to take account of life quality.
For example, if you are in a Nursing Home or if you are bed ridden, I would say your "life" is reduced by half the amount of time spent there.
But as other said, infant mortality is a big factor. With the US abortion bans in some places, I expect infant mortality to rise. IIRC, on ave, Right Wing controlled already have the highest infant mortality rates.
