An average 10 years longer life expectancy is huge.

• abecedarius 17y ago
  The question we started with: are so-called diseases of civilization caused by something about lifestyle, or is it people living longer revealing an underlying rate that's screened off by early death in the other cultures? These figures say there were plenty of older people; usually when I see the latter claim made it lumps in infant mortality. On the other hand, the reported differences in rates of things like cancer are huge. Also, the 10 years leaves out age 4-20 mortality, if I understand it right.
