No, having more people murdered (young) makes our numbers average down. And aside from Japan and the Scandanavian countries, our expectancy is equal to the other Western countries, at 75. Some of them got us by a couple months.Furthermore, our murder rate is higher, so that brings down our numbers. Also, genetics has a lot to do with it too. We are multicultural, so have the genetics of many different races, whereas that is much less pronounced in Japann and the Scandanavian countries. Heritity also effects expectancy, some races fare better than others. http://www.eagle-min.com/faq/faq85.htm Rankings of developed countries, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
