young American adults

New findings show that death rates among young adults in the United States have surged by 71% in just over ten years. The sharp rise, reported by StudyFinds, has drawn attention to worsening health trends for Americans in early adulthood, with excess deaths attributed largely to external and preventable causes such as drug overdoses, accidents, and suicide. Commenters online are alarmed by the scale of the increase and what it suggests about the health of a generation.
