(CNN) Younger and middle-age Americans have been dying at higher rates over the past three decades, marking what is becoming a public health crisis across the US workforce.
Among the causes of death increasingly striking working-age Americans between 1990 and 2017 are drug overdose, alcohol use and suicides, according to a new report published Tuesday by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.
Cardiometabolic conditions, which include diabetes and heart diseases, are another major driver toward the trend that Americans are more likely to die before age 65 than those who live in other rich nations.
Young adults between ages 25 and 44 have grown up amid an obesity epidemic, often with unhealthy diets and a lack of safe, open space for exercise, the authors of the report point out.
"We're losing more and more Americans in the prime of their lives, in their most productive years and in their parenting years," said Kathleen Mullan Harris, a professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina. She chairs the Committee on Rising Midlife Mortality Rates and Socio-Economic Disparities, which authored the report.

As a first wave boomer born immediately after the war, I see a problem emerging in subsequent generations.
Bill Clinton was born the same year as I and was elected to the presidency way back in 1992.
Then, in 2000, Dubya Bush was elected, also born the same year as Clinton and I.
In 2008, we got the only president ever significantly younger than I. The Kenyan Muslim, as the trumpanzees call him, was an aberration, bless his heart.
But in 2016, we elected an orangutan born the same year as I, Dubya, and Clinton. The only time three American presidents [I never made it] were born in the same year.
Then, in 2020, we really outdid ourselves and elected somebody significantly older than the president who was elected 28 years earlier in 1992!
Are subsequent generations dying young for the same reasons that they can't be elected president?
Just a thought.

It takes quite a bit of work to be elected President. If you do not want to be elected President, simply do not run. There are other people who are willing to put the work in, so no need for you. You do not have to get your eyes gouged out, or anything.
There was a problem, especially early on in American history, that some candidates were working hard, but denying they were running. They would say, "I am not running", but then be campaigning with an "exploratory committee." This led to the Sherman Statement; basically, "If nominated, I will not run, and if elected, I will not serve."
Sherman Statement is an equivocating statement of not running, but I prefer the Udall Statement, "If nominated, I shall run to Mexico. If elected, I shall fight extradition."
Anyway, I doubt anyone is desperate to draft you as President.

Thomas SowellMuch of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good. In area after area – crime, education, housing, race relations – the situation has gotten worse after the bright new theories were put into operation. The amazing thing is that this history of failure and disaster has neither discouraged the social engineers nor discredited them.

The spiritual crisis in America has been growing for many decades, as Western Civilization stultified and began to fail to be able to regenerate to fit our realities.
It is the crisis of our spiritual life that causes the current crisis of our physical beings.
As the collapse continues things will get worse.
