Researchers from the University of Washington found stark disparities in life expectancy across the United States, indicating we do not live in one America, but rather ten.
The comprehensive analysis revealed that one’s life expectancy dramatically varies based on geographic location, economic conditions and racial or ethnic identity of the residents.
America 1, comprising Asian and NHPI residents, has the highest life expectancy at 84 years, while America 2 consists of Latinos with a lower life expectancy of 79.4 years.
This research highlights the complex social determinants of health that create divergent living conditions and life expectancies across different populations within the United States.
