When controlled for murder and auto accidents, which Americans die from at a far greater rate than any other industrialized nation, we are the longest living.
‘When controlled for murder and auto accidents, which Americans die from at a far greater rate than any other industrialized nation, we are the longest living.’
Are you sure? One seventh of 1% of the US population die on the roads every year, so if we add one seventh of 1% to your life expectancy, it makes virtually no difference. Same story with murders - 13,000 Americans murdered, less than a 20th of 1% of the population isn’t going to increase or decrease average life expectancy by much. There are several industrialised nations with higher murder and road death rates than the US.
