Immigrants are 12.81% of our National population and they tend to be from considerably less developed nations. We have a significantly higher load factor than the other modernized countries.

We also have massive Urban black populations, which most other leading nations can't boast. They have the lowest life expectancy of any ethnic group in the survey.

This might help to explain why we are much lower on the list.
And....obesity in America is a very serious issue. Overweight/obese will lead to heart disease, diabetes, and all other sorts of nasty things that tend to cut your life short
