Catching up with stagnation: cause-specific dynamics of change in life expectancy at age 65 in the United States, Canada and Latin America, 2000-2019.
Abstract
Recent focus on United States longevity stagnation at higher ages has focused on comparisons with other high-income countries, with less attention paid to its performance relative to peer nations in the Americas. This study examines changes in life expectancy at age 65 (LE65) in the United States, Canada, and seven Latin American countries-Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru-between 2000 and 2019, disaggregated by sex and cause of death.
