This does the same thing the wave of EV sales stories last year did and seems to intentionally muddy a slowdown in growth vs an absolute reduction for more clickbait factor. In both cases you'd logically and mathmatically expect a slowdown unless you expect 900 year old people driving 6 cars at once. edit: also worth noting that the decade with the slower growth included a couple of years with absolute life expectancy drops due to COVID, though one of the points the original paper tries to make is that a) there was a slowdown before that happened so it's not just a COVID effect, and they point to lifestyle factors contributing to heart disease and cancer b) the countries with greater slowdown pre-COVID were also harder hit by COVID, presumably because the population was sicker and or the health system worse.
