Longer lives, worse health? Scientists uncover troubling trend across generations

A study found that people worldwide are living longer but spending more years in poor health, with the 'morbidity gap' widening in 203 of 204 countries. The U.S. has the largest gap at 14 years, driven by chronic issues like low back pain, depression, and hearing loss. Wealthier nations with life-extending resources show the most significant increase in this gap.
