Rural Americans Don’t Live as Long as Those in Cities − Morning AgClips
LOS ANGELES (THE CONVERSATION) — Rural Americans – particularly men – are expected to live significantly shorter, less healthy lives than their urban counterparts, according to our research, recently published in the Journal of Rural Health.
We found that a 60-year-old man living in a rural area is expected on average to live two fewer years than an urban man. For women, the rural-urban gap is six months.
