    Does it have something to do with wealth inequality and quality of life being so inextricable from personal wealth? That would be my guess, but I don’t know for sure bc paywall… Oh well.

      I’m sure some of it is wealth distribution and some is access to healthcare. Culture also has an effect of course. But from the chart I saw in one these comments shows 22-44 year olds being 2.5 times more likely to die than other high income countries. That sounds absurd. (As in bad, not unbelievable)
