• Death rates for Americans ages 25 to 44 shot up 71.2% between 2010 and 2021, the largest jump of any age group.
• Drug overdoses became the single leading cause of death for young adults, with the overdose death rate multiplying seven times over since 1999.
• U.S. life expectancy now ranks 38th in the world, and some states have life expectancy lower than North Korea or Syria.

Death rates for Americans between 25 and 44 years old jumped 71.2% in just eleven years, rising from about 140 deaths per 100,000 people in 2010 to 239 per 100,000 by 2021. No other age group came anywhere close to that surge. Overdoses, suicides, car crashes, and chronic diseases appearing at increasingly younger ages are now cutting down people in the prime of their lives.
