US Life Expectancy <br />Ranking Drops, <br />Spain Takes the Lead By 2040, research from the Institute <br />for Health Metric and Evaluation <br />(IHME) suggests the U.S. ranking <br />will drop from 43 to 64. The IHME study suggests that <br />Spain will beat out Japan for <br />the top ranking of the world's <br />life expectancy table. On average, <br />people in Spain will <br />live for 85.8 years. The life expectancy <br />for people in the U.S. <br />will be 79.8 in 2040. That is only 1.1 years longer <br />as compared to Americans' <br />life expectancy in 2016. The average global life <br />expectancy rise over that <br />same period is 4.4 years. The authors of the study are quick to <br />point out that "the future of the <br />world's health is not preordained." Kyle Foreman, data science director IHME, via CNN
