Abstract in brief

Germany has a surprisingly low life expectancy compared to other high-income countries, despite its strong economy and healthcare system.

More comprehensive data on health risk factors is essential to better understand the root causes of Germany's health gap in comparison to other nations.

Spannende Studie (D. Jasilionis et al.) zur überraschend niedrigen Lebenserwartung in Deutschland gegenüber Nachbarländern. Es sind (andere Faktoren herausgerechnet) die oft zu spät erkannten o. ignorierten "Wohlstandskrankheiten" ab 50 (Hypertonie & Co.). https://t.co/Dx141NOO2e

The problem is coming through into the life expectancy as the age specific mortality rates are multiplied. And we don’t even have the latest years 2022 2023 in here which will send DE LE further down and SE CH IT ES etc further up back on uptrend. https://t.co/9Lb9zw3jOX https://t.co/vw85BvWLDh
