Abstract | "'Mortality and morbidity in the 21st century,' Princeton Professors Anne Case and Angus Deaton, a Nobel Prize winner, follow-up their ground-breaking 2015 research that documented a dramatic increase in middle-aged white mortality.; In their new paper, the authors find that 'deaths of despair' (deaths by drugs, alcohol, and suicide) in midlife rose most dramatically for white non-Hispanic Americans with a high school degree or less - a pattern that diverges sharply from overall midlife mortality rates in other rich countries.; When combined with a slowdown in progress against mortality from heart disease and cancer - the two largest killers in middle age - the increase in 'deaths of despair' since the late 1990s has resulted in midlife mortality rates for white non-Hispanic Americans with a high school degree or less overtaking overall midlife mortality rates of minority groups.; Case and Deaton also document an accumulation of pain, distress, and social dysfunction in the lives of working class whites that took hold as the blue-collar economic heyday of the early 1970s ended and continued through the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent slow recovery."
