Gen X are those born between the early 1960s and the early 1980s. The nickname stuck thanks to the novel by Douglas Copeland: 'Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture', which was about Americans hitting adulthood in the late 1980s. This generation has been characterised as being saddled with permanent cynicism.
Life expectancy increases in United States. In 2013 the life expectancy in United States increased to 78.84 years. That year, the life expectancy for women was 81.30 years and for men 76.50 years. United Statesâs position was held this year in position 36th with respect to the ranking of 191 we publish life expectancy.
Men are catching up. American men now live just five years less, on average, than women, closing a gap that once approached eight years. Male life expectancy hit a record 75.2 in 2004, the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently announced. Nice work, guys. CDC data suggest you did it by smoking less and taking other steps to reduce the risks of cancer and heart disease.
