There are two age groups that are dying younger in recent years in North America.
Christopher Murray is director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington and the lead scientist of the new study.
The main drivers are gun violence, road injuries, and suicide.
The other age group that saw deaths rise in North America is 25 to 39-year-olds, driven primarily by drug overdoses.
The study, which also found a rise in depression and anxiety in youth, is published in The Lancet.
