The point you're referring to relates specifically to geographic differences.
From the results section:
"inequality in life expectancy increased over time. Between 2001 and 2014, life expectancy increased by 2.34 years for men and 2.91 years for women in the top 5% of the income distribution, but by only 0.32 years for men and 0.04 years for women in the bottom 5% (P < .001 for the differences for both sexes)."
So I think the co-authors had a point when they talked about retirement age!
- yummyfajitas 10y agoSee Figure 8 for numbers on "Population-weighted univariate Pearson correlations estimated between local area characteristics and race- and ethnicity-adjusted expected age at death for 40-year-olds in the bottom income quartile." The CIs for income inequality (as well as health care factors and local labor market conditions) do not exclude zero.
