![]() ![]() Life Tables at NCHS and first author of the study, told ABC News. "The fact that there can be such large differences in life expectancy within one country, that's what I find most interesting," Dr. States with the highest life expectancy were mostly in the Northeast and West states while states with the lowest life expectancy were Southern states. overall, life expectancy was 78.8 years in 2019, an increase of 0.1 years from 2018. Researchers from the National Center for Health Statistics - a branch of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - looked at deaths rates in 2019, the last year for which complete data is available, for each state and the District of Columbia.įor the U.S. The share of occasional smokers has been 5 to 6 percent for years.A new federal report published Thursday has revealed the life expectancy of Americans in every state. In the same period, the number of moderate smokers has decreased substantially, from 18 to 14 percent. Health Longevity Life expectancy in years Life expectancy is a projection estimating what the average age of death will be for people born today not the average age of death of people who died this year. Around fifteen years ago, 10 percent of the Dutch population smoked at least twenty cigarettes a day nowadays, 4 percent of the population are heavy smokers. The number of smokers is declining steadily, however. The study shows that in recent years, 4 out of 10 people who die before the age of 80 were killed by the effects of tobacco. ![]() One of the major reasons for the overall. The risk of premature death is halved among ex-smokers who quit around their 50th birthday.įour in ten deaths under age 80 linked to tobacco Over the past 160 years, life expectancy (from birth) in the United States has risen from 39.4 years in 1860, to 78.9 years in 2020. People who quit before they reach the age of 35 achieve the same life expectancy as people who never smoked. Among those who never smoked, 3 percent of deaths before age 65 are related to cancer and 1 percent to cardiovascular disease.Įstimated mortality in (non-)smokers aged 30 to 64, by cause of death Another 5 percent of deaths were due to cardiovascular diseases. For example, an estimated 11 percent of heavy smokers died from cancer before they turned 65 and 5 percent from lung cancer. In addition, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases were more prevalent causes among the smokers. For females, it dropped 0.9 years, from 81.4 years to 80.5. The study indicates that smokers relatively often die from cancer, especially lung cancer. Among males, life expectancy at birth fell 1.2 years, from 76.3 years in 2019 to 75.1 during the first half of 2020. Moderate smokers (fewer than twenty cigarettes a day) lose an estimated 9 years, while light (intermittent) smokers lose 5 years.Įstimated mortality age 30 and older, smokers and non-smokersĬancer is the leading cause of premature death Life expectancy decreases by 13 years on average for heavy smokers compared to people who have never smoked. This is 11 percent among light smokers and 7 percent among non-smokers. An estimated 23 percent of consistent heavy smokers never reach the age of 65. The study shows that smokers die relatively young. Men and women saw a similar decline in life expectancy last year, but women are living, on average, until over 79 years old, which is about six years longer than men The CDC also found that. The study is based on the survey data and data on the deaths of nearly 40 thousand respondents aged between 20 and 80 who participated in the Health Survey held from 2001 up to and including 2006. Research focused on whether and when smokers and non-smokers who took part in this health survey had passed away. This is the outcome of a new study by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) and the Netherlands Institute of Mental Health and Addiction (the Trimbos Institute) on the relationship between smoking and mortality. The average lifespan of heavy smokers (smoking more than twenty cigarettes per day) is 13 years shorter than that of non-smokers. One in four heavy smokers die before their 65th birthday. ![]()
