Taking the life expectancy (LE) of Non-Hispanic White (NHW) Americans as an example to provide potential references for improving LE globally. We collected complete data from the United States (US) CDC, Office for National Statistics in the United Kingdom (UK), and the OECD publications, and described LE changes of NHW Americans by cross-national comparison and Arriaga's method. LE of NHW Americans was not as optimistic as European countries from 2006 to 2018. The LE annual average growth rate was 0.04% for NHW Americans, 0.19% for the UK population, and the median of 25 countries was 0.24%. Compared with the other age groups, the age group 30-34 revealed an inferior impact on the LE of NHW people, of which accidents and intentional self-harm were likely to be the top two direct causes. Finding out the direct causes that affect the LE growth in different age groups is conducive to making a targeted intervention or solving the LE growth bottleneck.
以美国非西班牙裔白人的预期寿命（LE）为例，为全球提高 LE 提供潜在参考。我们从美国疾病预防控制中心（USCDC）、英国国家统计局（ONS）和经合组织出版物中收集了完整的数据，并通过跨国比较和 Arriaga 方法描述了美国非西班牙裔白人的 LE 变化。从 2006 年到 2018 年，美国非西班牙裔白人的 LE 并不像欧洲国家那样乐观。美国非西班牙裔白人的 LE 年平均增长率为 0.04%，英国人口为 0.19%，25 个国家的中位数为 0.24%。与其他年龄组相比，30-34 岁年龄组对美国非西班牙裔白人的 LE 影响较差，其中事故和故意自伤可能是前两个直接原因。找出影响不同年龄组 LE 增长的直接原因，有助于有针对性地进行干预或解决 LE 增长的瓶颈问题。
