But one can very easily argue that American health outcomes are significantly driven by the average number of steps they take per day relative to other geographic peers.

Astonishingly few Americans are getting more than 15 minutes of light aerobic exercise in per day. And that exercise is largely being spent moving between seats.

The actually sad part is that when you split data by race, white American health outcomes are pretty great and in some areas significantly ahead of other countries (if you have a rare cancer, America is the place to be) whereas not-white American health outcomes are ... not great.

> AIAN (67.9 years) and Black (72.8 years) people had a shorter life expectancy compared to White people (77.5 years) as of 2022, and AIAN, Hispanic, and Black people experienced larger declines in life expectancy than White people between 2019 and 2022
