wsj的这个报道和我的感受一样：活得岁数越来越大，但享有的健康时间却越来越短

Americans are living longer, but spending less time in good health. The estimated average proportion of life spent in good health declined to 83.6% in 2021, down from 85.8% in 1990

感觉周围关系比较熟的50岁以上的，没几个不吃药的，这种药那种药，还不是综合维生素那种，都是处方药。血压的，焦虑的，等等等等

缝缝补补又十年

that's very misleading. In 30 years the average lifespan increased by about 6%. So the healty life actually increased by about 5%

我家庭医生说，人过了四十岁身体里总会长点瘤子什么的，有的大有的小，有的良性有的恶性，总之是避免不了的。能活得长死得快就算有福气。

一开始我也这么理解的，但好像不是。你自己读读。

The decrease of time spent in good health is partly because medical advances are catching and treating diseases that once would have killed us. But it is also because of the rising prevalence, often among younger people, of conditions such as obesity, diabetes and substance-use disorders.

这篇文章是文盲写的吧。 最后那个dip很明显是covid.不算dip。美国人的health adjusted life expectancy 是增加的。

现代医学给了你选择，就是你可以像古代人那样早死早超生，也可以有病了去寻求现代医学的解决方案。可能会有mental和physical的质量下降但是至少多个选择。你要不要这个选择是你的事至少大数据是现实大部分人都是选择要的。

文章的意思就是靠医学，可以越来越长寿，但医学介入的年龄越来越早。
