Summary

Americans spend more time living with disease than people in other countries. A new study by the American Medical Association reveals that Americans live with illness for an average of 12.4 years, up from 10.9 years in 2000.

Women in the US experience a larger healthspan-lifespan gap than men.

Mental, substance-use, and musculoskeletal disorders are major contributors to this gap.

Globally, the healthspan-lifespan gap has also widened over the past two decades.
