U.S. life expectancy is, surprisingly enough, on the rise. According to a new study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, Americans can expect to live 80.4 years in 2050, up from 78.3 years in 2022. 

But it’s rising even more in other countries. In 2050, the United States is projected to rank 66th out of 204 countries and territories, down from 49th today.
