US Death Rate vs US Life Expectancy
US Death Rate and US Life Expectancy correlate at r = -0.62 over 65 years (1960–2024), p < 0.0001. With the time trend removed, r = -0.96. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = < 0.0001) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.96). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
