Nation’s poor

If you can only make it to 75, you’re likely to out-
last the Swiss and elders of most other wealthy na-
tions.
At that golden age, if achieved, Americans can
finally look forward to outliving people in Swit-
zerland, Japan and Australia, according to a report
issued last week by the Institute of Medicine and
the National Research Council.
Until we reach that milestone, Americans die at
younger ages than people in almost all other high-
income democracies. Life expectancy at birth for
men in the United States in 2007 was 75.6 years
— 17th out of 17 nations included in the review; for
U.S. women, life expectancy of 80.7 years ranked
only ahead of Denmark.
Americans have a pattern of poorer health than
