The "healthspan-lifespan gap" was largest in the U.S., as Americans live in poor health for an average of 12.4 years, compared to 10.9 years in 2000.
The new guidelines widen those expectations, asserting most children — 75 percent instead of 50 — should be able to reach certain achievements in development by a specific age. The CDC divides ...
