Life expectancy in southern U.S. states lagged behind national gains since 1900, study finds.
A recent study by the Yale School of Public Health found that life expectancy in southern U.S. states has shown little improvement since 1900, especially for women, despite national increases.
Nationally, life expectancy for women rose from 73.8 to 84.1 years and for men from 62.8 to 80.3 years.
The study attributes the general improvement to better sanitation, healthcare, and tobacco policies, but notes that regional disparities are due to differences in state health policies.
