Taylor Swift and I may be the same age, but when did 34 become middle aged? Or has the American lifespan decreased so much that I should expect to die at age 68?
Average life expectancy in the US is only 72, I believe.
Last I checked, it was like 72 for males and 76 for females.
At birth. Someone who's made it past infancy will have a higher expectancy
I thought infant mortality was not counted in average lifespan calculations. I looked it up and I was wrong. Just in case anyone else was misinformed like me.
