Information from the National Center for Health Statistics revealed a life expectancy drop for men from 76.5 years in 2014 to 76.3 in 2015. Meanwhile, research has shown distinct rises in heart disease, dementia and accidental infant deaths.
Life span has improved steadily since 1950, when the life expectancy for makes was 68 years. During the 1980s, there was a dip in life span due to influenza.
"This is unusual," author Jiaquan Xu said. Xu is also an epidemiologist with NCHS. "It looks like much more death than we have seen in recent years."
While various causes of death have risen during 2015, one stands out -- incidence of death from Alzheimer's related causes -- by more than 15 percent during 2015. Scientists also credit the life span drop to on aging population and obesity.
