The Swedes also have longer holidays. It some ways, a study like this is apples and oranges

Not really Torie. The Swedes have longer holidays therefore they will live longer. Under normal circumstances that would be an ideal situation, however, there are some serious demographics problems coming their way. They have fewer and fewer people who are paying taxes. They are allowing immigration to get out of hand and many of these people are draining the system rather than contribute to it. What good is it if you live longer, the state runs out of money and can't pay your pension and healthcare during the period of your life when you need it most?

It seems to me there are some VERY serious problems ahead for the Swedes, and especially those Swedes who were planning on retiring sometime before they die.

Just how many dysfunctional parasites from abroad have infected the nest in Sweden, and what percent of the population does it represent? Have you checked the fertility rate? I haven't, but the number is asserted. Yes, I am sure that it is below 2. Most of Western Europe is.

The Swedes have Scandinavian genes, therefore they will live longer (if they don't smoke and drink themselves to death first... {<ggg}).
