U.S. life spans, which have fallen behind those in Europe, are telling us something important about American society.
An amazing new study shows the U.S. is doing much worse than other developed countries at performing the most basic function of civilization: keeping people alive.
Why Americans Die So Much
U.S. life spans, which have fallen behind those in Europe, are telling us something important about American society.www.theatlantic.com
According to a new working paper released by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Americans now die earlier than their European counterparts, no matter what age you’re looking at. Compared with Europeans, American babies are more likely to die before they turn 5, American teens are more likely to die before they turn 20, and American adults are more likely to die before they turn 65. At every age, living in the United States carries a higher risk of mortality. This is America’s unsung death penalty, and it adds up. Average life expectancy surged above 80 years old in just about every Western European country in the 2010s, including Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, the U.K., Denmark, and Switzerland. In the U.S., by contrast, the average life span has never exceeded 79—and now it’s just taken a historic tumble.

Is America the most overworked western region in the developed world?
Americans work longest hours among industrialized countries, Japanese second longest. Europeans work less Time, but register faster productivity gains New ILO statistical volume highlights labour trends worldwide
GENEVA (ILO News) - US workers put in the longest hours on the job in industrialized nations, clocking up nearly 2,000 hours per capita in 1997, the equivalent of almost two working weeks more than their counterparts in Japan where annual hours worked have been gradually declining since 1980...www.ilo.org
The US Is The Most Overworked Country In The Developed World. Here's How We'll Change That
Studies show that Americans work longer hours and have more stress-related illnesses than their European and Japanese counterparts. Some of this is due to stagnant wages and outdated overtime laws, but some of the problem is embedded into, particularly in technology and finance jobs.
The U.S. is the Most Overworked Nation in the World
Data on American worker time off, productivity, holiday, paid leave, sick time, hours worked per week & per year. Americans are overworked.
Let's factoring the stigma of taking paid vacation in America.

So yes you are right and I AM SORRY the report doesn't openly look at the United States exclusively. However, the report clearly states that working hours is a major contribution to death and leads to bad eating habits. Americans are working the longest hours and not taking paid vacation.
Therefore the findings in the report are still relevant to this subject.
So just to clarify a report from the world health organisation that says " Long working hours increasing deaths from heart disease and stroke:" has no relevance to the most overworked developed nation?
