Oh, it's well documented WHY we're dying younger. If I live to 77 I'd be amazed. When my dad died at 64, I had just turned 22 and had every reason to believe I'd live longer than average person. The world has beaten me down quite a bit since then (18 yrs ago).
It's mostly avoidable issues. For me and our society as a whole, but as shit falls apart more, we age faster, and have less to look forward to.
I was on track to retire very comfy as a multimillionaire by 60. Now i have no doubt I'll work until death (best case scenario) so i can leave a few pennies for my daughter, or, I'll die penniless as a ward of the state in one those hellish, smelly, pits we throw our old and dying into. We have too many old people and not enough young people and that's only going to worsen.

Lack of resources kills you early not just from a lack of healthcare. It means more stress, less opportunity to engage in healthy activities, less likely to eat properly, less likely to sleep properly. More likely to have drug addiction.
It's one of the many ways Boomers had the end of continuous improvement (in US where each gen had it better than previous). We millennials were raised in that comfy environment, making us poorly prepared for the hard times that set us up for.
