I really wish life expectancy was more granular and included a number with, like, deaths due to risky behavior filtered out. Judging by the internet I get the impression that things like "falling off the top of a train" are much more common there than in some other more risk averse and lower bravado places, and it's hard to tell how much that impacts life expectancy vs other lifestyle and environmental factors.

India's life expectancy is almost 10% shorter than the USA's (70 vs 77)

Those numbers are surprising to me. I would expect a much bigger difference considering the difference in wealth.
