Not in Europe and Japan. They retire younger and live longer than us.

The longest lived here live longer than the longest lived of any east asian nation. What you are talking about is the average, and that is simply diet related.

Correct for homicides and automobile accidents, and we live longer than they do. Correct for obesity, an area in which we lead the world, and the U.S. lead widens even more.

Quality of life in retirement is another factor. Most Americans own their own homes. Most euros and japanese rent. Our retirees also (for the time being) get significantly better medical care, although BO is hellbent on dragging the U.S. down to the european rationed care level.
