US Inflation Rate vs US Life Expectancy
US Inflation Rate and US Life Expectancy correlate at r = -0.26 over 65 years (1960–2024), p = 0.035. With the time trend removed, r = -0.01. Holds up after detrending.
Verdict: Holds up after detrending. Statistically significant (p = 0.035) and the association survives trend removal (detrended r = -0.01). Correlation still isn't causation, but this one isn't an obvious artifact.
