Older people are looking tougher in the latest batch of federal government life data.
Young adults and children are looking more fragile.
The National Center for Health Statistics, an arm of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has told the story in a new set of U.S. life expectancy tables for 2016.
