尽管取得了数十年的进步,但由于死亡率的社会经济差异不断扩大,种族/族裔群体之间的死亡率差异持续存在,以及外部死亡原因的增加,美国预期寿命的未来仍不确定。这些趋势促使我们仔细研究像美国这样的高收入但极不平等的社会中的预期寿命,在那里,社会因素决定了谁最有能力最大限度地延长他们的生物寿命。在回顾了生物人口学对预期寿命的观点,健康促进创新在整个人口中的不均匀扩散以及对人口健康威胁的不断变化的性质的证据后,我们认为,社会学是最适合领导关于预期寿命未来的讨论的。鉴于最近的趋势,社会学家应强调预期寿命的社会决定因素的重要性,将研究重点从延长极端寿命转向研究社会不平等,以改善所有人的健康。
Despite decades of progress, the future of life expectancy in the United States is uncertain due to widening socioeconomic disparities in mortality, continued disparities in mortality across racial/ethnic groups, and an increase in extrinsic causes of death. These trends prompt us to scrutinize life expectancy in a high-income but enormously unequal society like the United States, where social factors determine who is most able to maximize their biological lifespan. After reviewing evidence for biodemographic perspectives on life expectancy, the uneven diffusion of health-enhancing innovations throughout the population, and the changing nature of threats to population health, we argue that sociology is optimally positioned to lead discourse on the future of life expectancy. Given recent trends, sociologists should emphasize the importance of the social determinants of life expectancy, redirecting research focus away from extending extreme longevity and towards research on social inequality with the goal of improving population health for all.
