They are confused about something else, too. This doesn't seem plausible:
> At 65, men could expect another ten years of life; and women another eight [24,32,33] (the lower figure for women reflects the high danger of death in childbirth...)
It's as if they started writing the article using life expectancy at 5 everywhere, but had to change some places to make the numbers fit.
- lucozade 9y ago> the lower figure for women reflects the high danger of death in childbirth I have to say, I didn't notice that. If they have any evidence that significant numbers of 19C women in their late sixties were dying from complications due to childbirth, that would be an interesting article. The more I read it, the more I think it's an April Fool that was published a week or two early by mistake.
