Rising European life expectancy undermined by obesity: WHO
Life expectancy in Europe continues to increase but obesity and the growing proportion of people who are overweight risks reversing this trend, the World Health Organization warned Wednesday.
In its European Health Report, covering 53 countries in a vast geographical area from the Atlantic to the Pacific, the UN agency found well-being is the highest in the world but varies widely within the region.
Average life expectancy from birth has increased from 76.7 years in 2010 to 77.8 years in 2015. Women continue to live longer than men—81.1 years compared to 74.6 years for men, although the gap has slightly narrowed.

Those studies are all retarded since they never compsre to an actual low carb diet, just amongst various high carb diets. Check if theres a group getting 5-10% of their calories from carbs and ignore it if not.
