In 1980 the average life expectancy of a U.S. male was 76 years. In the 44 years since, we’ve had medical advances that are nothing short of amazing. We’ve quit smoking. Made cars safer, made seat belts required. Made air travel safer. Changed our diets, lowered cholesterol, curing many cancers, managed heart disease and stroke, better treatments for diabetes. We’ve changed our drinking habits, to light beers and healthy wine. And so much more. Today, in 2024 the average life expectancy of a U.S. male is…76 years.
