Study: Female Life Expectancy Down Significantly in 180 U.S. Counties

Women's life expectancy declined significantly in 180 U.S. counties, mostly in the deep South and Appalachia, between 1983 and 1999, according to a study being released Tuesday.

Researchers blamed the decrease in women's life expectancy on high blood pressure as well as chronic diseases related to smoking and obesity, such as lung cancer and diabetes.

The decline, averaging 1.3 years in the 180 counties. Men's life expectancy declined by 1.3 years in only 11 counties.

In another 783 counties, women's life expectancy declined by 0.5 years, but the researchers said those results were not statistically significant because those counties were relatively small.

COMMENTS: The overweight problem is epidemic in this country. I live near a Middle school and I am amazed at the number of girls who are way overweight--at age 13 yo!!! That and when I go shopping at a grocery store, I cant get thru the ailes due to the number of women with "3' wide hips" taking up the whole aisle!! We've become a nation of 'porkers!'
