Introducción: Es un indicador positivo que la esperanza de vida humana calculada desde el nacimiento ha ido aumentando. Sin embargo, los estándares actuales para contar los años de vida suponen la deseabilidad social y excluyen todas las muertes prenatales. Estas suposiciones enmascaran bajas muertes en años de vida y oscurecen los resultados de las intervenciones médicas y ambientales,
indicando así falsamente mayores expectativas de vida.
Objetivo: Cuantificar la esperanza de vida con y sin
deseabilidad social.
Métodos: Este estudio de caso investiga el impacto de la deseabilidad social en la esperanza de vida entre 1930 y 2016 utilizando datos de los CDC y el Banco Mundial para los EE. UU.
Resultados: Es evidente que las esperanzas de vida
publicadas en los EE. UU. son muy exageradas y lo que
habrían sido estadounidenses de corta vida son etiquetados desproporcionadamente como socialmente indeseables y ignorados al contar los años de vida, presentando así una visión demasiado optimista de la salud de los EE. UU.
Conclusiones: Se necesita una investigación global integral y se debe introducir un refinamiento en los cálculos de la esperanza de vida, que no sesgue los resultados al contar únicamente la esperanza de vida desde el momento del nacimiento.
