There has been a significant increase in white death rates between 2010 and 2019. Comparable Black, Latino and Asian death rates have declined and are significantly below the rates for white people.
Young and middle-aged adults (25-64 years old) in the U.S. have been dying at higher rates since 2010, according to a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. …
The rising death rate is due primarily to drug overdoses, alcohol, suicides, and cardiometabolic conditions — a category that includes diabetes and heart diseases caused by high blood pressure
… From 1990 to 2017 fatal drug overdoses in working-age Americans increased in every state, but increases were especially high in Appalachia, New England, and the industrial Midwest
