University of Toronto researchers have suggested in a new study that mortality is on the rise for white Americans due to the misperception that they are losing status despite no evidence of that loss.
released by University of Toronto researchers found that rising mortality in white Americans is partly due to false perceptions that they are losing social status.
Mortality rates seldom rise unless a society is subjected to something disastrous, like a major economic crisis, an infectious disease epidemic or war. But there has been an increase in working-age mortality rates for just one group in the United States since 1999, and that's non-Hispanic whites.
This stress has resulted in what researchers call"deaths of despair." While mortality rates trend higher for whites, the increased causes of death have been due to alcohol consumption, opioid use, opioid overdose and suicides. According to the study, rising chronic diseases—which includes hypertension and obesity—also contributed to this trend.
