Comments on: Women's Life Expectancy Drops Across U.S.

Study: Significant Declines Reported In Deep South, Appalachia Between 1983 And 1999

This bias news report from an agency WebMd that is run by Big Pharma wants to blame diabetes, smoking and obesity but the true reason for the death increase is Medical Intervention. Women are an easy target for Big Pharma and the relentless marketing and near bribery tactics used on Doctors to prescribes medication. These synthetic drugs laced with side effects are the reason.

Women have been making the mistake of trying to BE men for decades.

We are DIFFERENT and it''s those differences that has formed our societies for thousands of years. This does not mean we are not equal and deserve to pursue pleasures and happiness or that one has dominance over another. It also does not mean that a woman CAN''T or does not have the RIGHT to do whatever she wants in life. However, the continual push from some to prove that they can do everything a man causes aggressive and insensitive women, leaving holes in the nuturing of children and a balance for men who are wired to compete for success in order to ensure their family is safe and prosperous.

Along with that comes ailing health, poor nutrition, substance abuse and depression; all those fun side affects that go with a hard driving competitive nature. Keep pushing young women to compete against men and leave raising our children to daycare workers.

And people are shocked that teenage girls are beating each other? It''s been coming to this for years.

Don''t believe everything you read from the news. There''s really no scientific merit since this is just a statistical survey. Death is completely random. All they measured were statistical death rates. The causes of death are only speculation. Speculation is not scientific proof.

In order for this study to be applicable, we need to get the cause of death associated with every deceased person. All we''ve seen so far is that some women are dying a couple years sooner in certain areas but we have nothing more than speculation beyond that. The best advice I can give to women is to eat right, excercise, go to your doctor frequently, and refrain from alcohol, tobacco, and caffiene. Most women I''ve seen do that usually live until they''re 85.

Beware of having a child over the age of 40 particularly if you are female. I worked for several years at a school/institution for "slow" children and the vast majority of their mothers were women who gave birth for the first time in their forties. Nature says go go go at at age 13 or so but our society says no$, no$, no$ till far later than nature intends due to the inability of young men to find decent work to found a family, more wharehousing called advanced education for millions when they should be procreating and then materialistic/frightened expensive lifestyles making marriage seem more of a financial burden than it is worth....result is panicky later births and the increased chance of having a "slow" child. Beautiful innocent children but forever on the outside as they age into adulthood. Nature has its demands.

Now all the apologists will rally for the poor women folks saying that women are denied proper nutrition (by men), denied proper medical care (by male doctors), are treated last at the emergency room (tell me another story). Face the fact. Women have chosen a lifestyle that is not safe for them. Blaming men will not cure it.

- You are a misogynist. Aren''t you? I could not resist.

In conclusion of the Stdy by Dr Majid Ezzati et al write:

There was a steady increase in mortality inequality across the US counties between 1983 and 1999, resulting from stagnation or increase in mortality among the worst-off segment of the population. Female mortality increased in a large number of counties, primarily because of chronic diseases related to smoking, overweight and obesity, and high blood pressure.

Interesting enough though in another publication, in Germany, Perls and Fretts found that a surprising number of women who lived to be 100 or more gave birth in their forties. These 100-year-old women were four times as likely to have given birth in their forties as women born in the same year who died at age 73. A study of centenarians in Europe by the Max Planck Institute of Demography in Germany found the same relationship between longevity and fecundity.

Are there enough men for women in those counties? If there were more infant-bearing projects by women in their forties, the survival rate would be better, for sure, less healthcare would be needed and the better we''d be off. LOL!

Not difficult to understand, when so many women are stupid enough to copy the more dangerous lifestyle that men have occupied for years. They have tried to get "equality" of death by smoking more, having more high risk sexual relationships, driving more dangerously because of the false sense of security offered by SUVs, and in general adding as much stress as they can by "exponentially" tasking. All this in the name of "having it all" and they have accomplished having all the problems that we men used to dominate.
