Recent Trends in the U.S. Death Rate

The Next Paradigm Shift, Inc. focuses on natural breakthroughs in health care that enable the body to fight aging and illness. Organizations like The Next Paradigm Shift offer solutions to the recent downward trend in life expectancy in the United States.

The downturn in life expectancy began in 2015, with a 0.1-year decrease from the previous year's high of 78.9 years. This trend repeated two more years in a row, suggesting health in the United States is on the decline and that practitioners of natural and conventional medicine will have to find new strategies to address the issues behind this downturn.

Both younger adults and those more than 85 years old are experiencing increases in their death rates. Heart disease and cancer remain common causes of death, but drug overdoses have significantly increased thanks to synthetic opioids. Suicides also have steadily risen for nearly two decades, causing a subtle but distinct overall increase. Health issues like diabetes and pneumonia also have increased, and unlike drug overdoses, show no signs of peaking.
