New Report Reveals Slowing U.S. Life Expectancy...
Dear Reader,
Americans are in for a surprise... we might assume our much-discussed health care system would ensure us a long life, yet a new report suggests otherwise.
Lifespan isn't increasing as fast in the U.S. as it is in other developed nations according to the report from the National Research Council, a branch of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences.
It appears that both obesity and smoking can be blamed for the decrease. For 25 years, life expectancy at age 50 has been going up, but more slowly in the U.S. than in most of the other 21 developed countries, including Japan and Australia.
Yet the United States spends more money on health care than any other nation.
Something doesn't make sense, and this decreasing longevity is worrisome to medical professionals according to report co-author Samuel H. Preston, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania.
Fifty years ago, more Americans smoked than either the Europeans or Japanese, and this still impacts life expectancy today. The effects of smoking on life span can take up to 30 years to be seen, so the numbers will likely improve as fewer U.S. men are smoking over the last two decades.
Smoking, especially by American women, is a continuing problem. This habit in women peaked later than for men, so lifespan increases from stop smoking efforts won't show up for another decade.
Obesity is also a factor, but the researchers are less certain of the role carrying too much weight has on how long you will live. It might be responsible for as much as one fifth to one third of the life expectancy gap between the U.S. and other developed nations according to the report. Any years gained by less smoking are likely to be erased by the extra pounds we're all carrying.
For U.S. women at 50, life expectancy is 33.1 years, while in Japan, Australia, Sweden and Switzerland, its 35.5 years on average. Hormone replacement therapy didn't appear to have an impact on a woman's life expectancy, nor did social ties have any bearing on how long a woman may live.

New Report Reveals Slowing U.S. Life Expectancy... Continued...
Researchers agree that our current behaviors are not likely to lead to optimal
health. So while we are a wealthy nation, with all kinds of technology, we tolerate
and even encourage enormous economic disparities that create disparities in health.
Our health care system is essentially a disease management system that's focused
on treating a condition after it develops rather than preventing it in the first
place. Preventive medicine appears to be a lesser priority.
The experts suggest that keeping healthy has more to do with what happens out
in the community and in your home, school, store, restaurants and churches.
Among aging Americans, heart disease and cancer are the main causes of death.
Interestingly, diagnoses and survival rates from these conditions appear to be
better in the U.S. than in most other nations. Another indication of our treatment
oriented healthcare system.
The report, titled Explaining Divergent Levels of Longevity in High-Income Countries,
also suggests that gaps in research make it hard to draw conclusions about how
things like diet, exercise and social life might affect how long you live.
To your good health,
Kirsten Whittaker
