World Life Expectancy

Lots of crazy statistics pics of life expectancy around the world as well as diseases. I haven't dove around much on this site yet, but it looks like there's some intriguing stuff.

The difference between 2000 and 2009 is huge.

Not much about that surprises me for the most part.

Don't move to Alaska unless you want to commit suicide...

Life expectancy in Aberdeen in Scotland is the lowest in the UK. It's something like 53 for men and 55 for women.

The lung disease for Los Angeles County kind of surprised me. I thought that would be higher.

The poorest people live the shortest. :\

I wonder why Afghanistan has one of the lowest life expectancies. :scratch:

At first I thought it was because of the war (I was watching in 2000) but it's lilac or blue since 1970. The only country in the middle east so bad off. :/

I just did a huge research project for my statistics class on life expectancy. Long life expectancy was found to be consistently linked to high literacy rates and low unemployment rates. I believe Afghanistan has something like a 28% literacy rate and unemployment is staggeringly high at around 40%.

There's this place called Kerala in India. They have to be one of the poorest places in the world, but they have close to 100% literacy and very low unemployment, and their life expectancy is around 70 for both genders. Interesting stuff.

Of course, this is statistics, so the link could be purely imagined.

My favourite statistical link is one that says that the taller you are, the more change you will have in your pocket.

 

[Helter Skelter]

They may be on to something... I'm pretty short, and I have no change in my pockets. Hmm...

short people can't pickpocket you?

I'm uncertain as to the accuracy of this, as the life expectancy of aboriginals is much lower than that of most white australians, a fact that doesn't really seem reflected in our statistics.

Haha.

No, it's because men are (generally speaking) taller, and males are also (generally speaking) less likely to have a purse, and more likely to just lump money in their pocket as loose change.
