...The mortality data for prostitutes is staggering. The American Journal of Epidemiology published a meticulous study finding that the “workplace homicide rate for prostitutes” is 51 times that of the next most dangerous occupation for women, working in a liquor store. The average age of death of the prostitutes in the study was 34.

...Women in prostitution have a death rate that is 40 times higher than women who are not involved in prostitution.**
I believe the death rate for either group, ultimately, is approximately 100%.
Does the study cite a specific age group in order to arrive at this conclusion?
I have to ask, because statements like "reduce your chances of dying!" irritate the crap out of me. Your chances are still 100%. The only question is when.
