Americans born in 2019 will spend a larger part of their lifetime taking prescription drugs than being married or receiving an education, according to new research.
American males born in 2019 will spend 48 percent, or 37 years, of their lives taking prescription drugs. For females born in the same year, the number jumped to 60 percent (47.5 life years), with most American women taking prescription drugs from age 15, according to the findings now published in the Demography journal.
