83. It's best not to over-aggregate things like fertility and life expectancy

Life expectancy of some groups is declining in some places. Even in the USA:

Life expectancy of U.S. women slips in some regions

Women in large swaths of the U.S. are dying younger than they were a generation ago, reversing nearly a century of progress in public health and underscoring the rising toll of smoking and record obesity.

Nationwide, life expectancy for American men and women has risen over the last two decades, and some U.S. communities still boast life expectancies as long as any in the world, according to newly released data. But over the last decade, the nation has experienced a widening gap between the most and least healthy places to live. In some parts of the United States, men and women are dying younger on average than their counterparts in nations such as Syria, Panama and Vietnam.


The indicators of decline can be expected to show up first in more vulnerable groups, regions and countries.
