Its funny to joke about windows and tea. Its funnier to note that this is the life expectancy of a Russian man, so him dropping dead now is normal.
We have money for wars to lower life expectancy, but none for a system that can raise it.

In fairness, these kinds of averages are heavily skewed by high infant mortality.
Average life expectancy at birth ≠ average adult lifespan

I picked cystic fibrosis as my example condition earlier because within a timeframe that would now be an average life expectancy for someone born with it (60+ years), life expectancy was months. That's a miracle of medicine, yet the UK attitude is effectively to be annoyed at the cost implications

This is what's missing from mainstream understanding of life expectancy. When life expectancy was 45, that was not everyone dying at 45 instead of 75. It was tons of kids under 5 dying and weighing down the average.

After rising steadily for over a century, improvements in UK life expectancy slowed dramatically from 2011 onward and effectively flatlined prior to 2020.
Healthy life expectancy—the years lived in good health—fell in England between 2011–13 and 2020–22 by 9.3 months for men & 14 months for women.

Russia announces its Ambassador to the United States, Aleksandr Darchiev, died today.
He was 66 years old. It may seem young but for Russian men, life expectancy is just 68.

Diabetes, high-blood pressure, kidney disease, cirrhosis of the liver, breathing difficulties, reduced life expectancy. Nah, let's forget about treating that quickly, get some running shoes, fatty.

I’m 26 but my body acts like I’m 36, I think maybe the years I spent working for companies and suffering through cursed Microsoft technologies have knocked 10 years off my life expectancy or something

Average life expectancy is 72-73 for men, tho I'm looking now and it's up to 75 now. So let's be generous and say 37.5 🤣
36 doesn’t make sense to me. I guess if you die in your early 70’s? But my family tends to live till mid 80’s so I called middle aged 45
