I can’t actually agree with this.But I am open to be proved otherwise.With the change to world ‘feminism’ OR the age of aquarius, more focus are put on looking after your body and mind today than in the nineties.Maybe HIV, Cholera & TB has increased for the previously disadvantaged?? But then crime and especially murder has come down significantly since 1990.
Would like to hear other inputs.

This expectancy is not entirely unexpected. We have more disease and ailments to cope with, coupled with environment that is under siege of rampant trashing and foodstuff we eat that don’t bode well for longevity of human tissues.SOMETHING’S GOT TO GIVE.
