Taking the life expectancy (LE) of Non-Hispanic White (NHW) Americans as an example in order to provide potential reference on improving LE globally. Methods. We collected complete data from the US CDC, Office for National Statistics in the UK and OECD publications, and described LE changes of NHW Americans by cross-national comparison and Arriaga method. Results. LE of NHW Americans was not as optimistic as European countries from 2006 to 2018. The LE annual average growth rate was 0.04% for NHW Americans, and 0.19% for the UK population, and the median of 25 countries was 0.24%. Age group of 30-34 had the most negative impact on the LE of NHW than any other age groups. Further analysis revealed that accidents and intentional self-harm are the top two direct causes in this age group. Conclusions. Finding out the direct causes that affect growth of LE in different age groups is conducive to taking targeted intervention and solving LE growth bottleneck.
