A Comprehensive Analysis of Life Expectancy and Death Rates in the USA

This report presents an analysis of average life expectancy and age-adjusted death rates in the USA, utilizing data from 1900 to 2015. The study explores two datasets, one focusing on life expectancy and death rates across different demographics (sex and race), and the other examining death rates by state, disease, and cause. The analysis employs Tableau 2018 to generate visual representations, including bar graphs and line graphs, to identify trends and patterns. Key findings reveal disparities in life expectancy and death rates based on race and gender, with black males exhibiting the lowest life expectancy and highest death rates. The report also highlights cancer and heart diseases as significant contributors to mortality. Based on these findings, the report recommends targeted incentives to improve the quality of life for vulnerable groups, increased research into treatments for major diseases, and focused interventions in states with high death rates. The report concludes with a list of references for further reading.
