Scientists Just Ranked All 50 States By Life Expectancy. The Results Are Truly Stunning

If you live in Mississippi, you have the same life expectancy as someone in Bangladesh.

By Bill Murphy Jr.Executive editor of operations, Some Spider, and founder, ProGhostwriters.com@BillMurphyJr

https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/scientists-just-ranked-all-50-states-by-life-expectancy-results-are-truly-stunning.html

What's the difference between living in Minnesota and living in Mississippi?

About seven years.

It sounds like some kind of weird joke, but according to a new study, it's no laughing matter. That's because there's a massive disparity among U.S. states in terms of how long people live.

People in Minnesota live the longest in the United States: 78.7 years old on average. Mississippi ranked 51st (the study includes Washington, D.C.). Live expectancy there is just 71.8 years: a 9.6 percent difference.

This truly is a fascinating study, pulling together reams of data to create "the most comprehensive state-by-state health assessment ever undertaken," according to a press release. (The study itself was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.) It's unusual because most big studies examine the United States as a whole, and yet there's a vast disparity of health and longevity among the states.

The biggest thieves robbing years from people's lives? You already know them: tobacco use, alcohol abuse, and bad diets.

Below, you'll find all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia, ranked from highest life expectancy to lowest.

We're also including benchmarks: the average life expectancy of people living in various foreign countries, as compiled in the separate World Health Organization's 2016 report on global life expectancy.

In response to Reply # 2


  

          

Only 6 mentions of race in the entire study
And two of those are links

We have previously shown an association between socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors and a 60% county-level variation in life expectancy, behavioral and metabolic risk factors and a 74% variation, and health care factors and a 27% variation.65 Combined, these factors are associated with 74% of overall variation. We also reported that most of the association between socioeconomic and race/ethnicity factors and life expectancy was mediated through behavioral and metabolic risk factors.

They're small states by comparison

but they have a couple of large cities (relatively speaking) where I'm assuming most of the population is concentrated

urban = Black

Delaware - Wilmington and Dover = 1/10 of the population

Maryland - Baltimore > 1/10 of the population

I'm assuming that's why the percentages are so high...?
