Diet. When I was younger than 16, we and everyone had home cooked meals every day, no choice. Places like McDonalds did not start showing up in my area when I was 12 or 13.
As time went on, divorce rates increased and/or both spouses were forced to work full time, meals gravitated towards fast and/or ultra-processed food. Why ? The parents had no time to cook.
So here we are.
I wish the article had rates based upon household income too. I kind of expect the children of the very rich is avoiding this trend because they could have servants/hired caregivers cooking for them.
Average number of sexual partners has skyrocketed for sure..
In the last few years? I would suggest it's much lower than it was in the 60's and 70's during the free love movements and other related movements. Prior to the 80's there was a lot more unprotected sex prior to the aids epidemic. Porn with a lot of body hair basically exploded when VHS tapes were created and people experimented a lot more.
Diet has certainly gotten worse. Most of the artificial crap was being introduced in the early 70's with a trailing 10 year lag on T2D increase but that has definitely gotten worse with time. What big change was introduced into the diet in the last few years?
