We have merchandise! Mugs and Posters! http://dft.ba/-HCTmerch
A couple weeks ago, John had a great Vlogbrothers video on racism. It was fantastic, and I assume all of you already watched, but if you didn't, you should. One of the things he mentioned is that differences in life expectancy can be evidence of potential differences in how people of different races are treated.

Life expectancy in Africa sees dramatic increases | DW News
You can never really have too much of life and good health. And right now Africans are living longer, healthier lives. The World Health Organisation recently announced that healthy life expectancy on the continent has gone up from 46 years at the start of the millennium to 56 years in 2019. That's almost ten extra years in which a person lives in a good state of health.
A key element is improving healthcare. For women, advancements in health services, like cancer screening, could lead to better AND timely treatment. The WHO estimated some 700,000 cancer deaths in Africa in 2020. In Cameroon, one physician has come up with a device that helps ease cervical cancer screening for women.
In Uganda, one doctor is winning the hearts of his patients at his private clinic. Timothy Okello lost his ...

The secrets to living a longer and Life span - Life expectancy
Different Factors define Life expectancy.
Genetics, Gender, access to health care, diet, exercise, lifestyle and crime rates.
Some People Think, that Genetic is everything, but its only partially true.
According to twin study, approximately 20-30 % of an individual’s lifespan is related to genetics.
And other rest is correlated to lifestyle, environment, behavior and other factors.
If we weight which is most important, we can say that Genetics is first most important, and second is lifestyle choices.
But lifestyle plays almost no role in health and longevity after the age of 80. And we can say that, after 80 everything is due to genetics.

Covid-19 Could Shorten Life Expectancy
The U.S. overall mortality rate fell a bit in 2019, due to reductions in heart disease and cancer deaths. And life expectancy inched up — by several weeks — for the second straight year, according to death certificate data released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But life expectancy for 2020 could end up dropping as much as three full years, said Robert Anderson of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC counted 2,854,838 U.S. deaths last year, or nearly 16,000 more than 2018. That’s fairly good news: Deaths usually rise by about 20,000 to 50,000 each year, mainly due to the nation’s aging, and growing, population.
Indeed, the age-adjusted death rate dropped about 1% in 2019, and life expectancy rose by about six weeks to 78.8 years, the CDC re...

Different Factors define Life expectancy.
Genetics, Gender, access to health care, diet, exercise, lifestyle and crime rates.
Some People Think, that Genetic is everything, but its only partially true.
According to twin study, approximately 20-30 % of an individual’s lifespan is related to genetics.
And other rest is correlated to lifestyle, environment, behavior and other factors.
If we weight which is most important, we can say that Genetics is first most important, and second is lifestyle choices.
But lifestyle plays almost no role in health and longevity after the age of 80. And we can say that, after 80 everything is due to genetics.
Why Women Live longer than men?
In Reality, women live longer compared to men. There can be several important factors:
1. Smaller bodies. It means less stress on heart and less likely to develop severe cardiovascular diseases.
2. Women have better immune system. Because testosterone is also immunosuppressant.
3. Women less likely to engage in physically dangerous activities.
Women longevity over men is not explained only environmental factors or bad habits.
Because even in animal kingdom, apes and other female mammals also live longer.
And eventually what is the secret of longevity of people?
Scientist Scientists are studying people in their nineties and hundreds, to identify common habits or lifestyle.
Almost all of them different with education, income or profession.
But similar habits include:
Nonsmoking, they do not have obesity. And they cope well with stress.
Most of such people are women.
The siblings and children (collectively called first-degree relatives), of long-lived individuals are more likely to remain healthy longer and to live to an older age than their peers.
Thanks to genetics for this.
And finally, It is estimated that about 25 percent of the variation in human life span is determined by genetics, but which genes, and how they contribute to longevity, are not well understood.

Covid-19 Could Shorten Life Expectancy

The U.S. overall mortality rate fell a bit in 2019, due to reductions in heart disease and cancer deaths. And life expectancy inched up — by several weeks — for the second straight year, according to death certificate data released Tuesday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But life expectancy for 2020 could end up dropping as much as three full years, said Robert Anderson of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The CDC counted 2,854,838 U.S. deaths last year, or nearly 16,000 more than 2018. That’s fairly good news: Deaths usually rise by about 20,000 to 50,000 each year, mainly due to the nation’s aging, and growing, population.
Indeed, the age-adjusted death rate dropped about 1% in 2019, and life expectancy rose by about six weeks to 78.8 years, the CDC reported.
“It was actually a pretty good year for mortality, as things go,” said Anderson, who oversees CDC death statistics.
The U.S. coronavirus epidemic has been a big driver of deaths this year, both directly and indirectly.
The virus was first identified in China last year, and the first U.S. cases were reported this year. But it has become the third leading cause of death, behind only heart disease and cancer. For certain periods this year, COVID-19 was the No. 1 killer.
But some other types of deaths also have increased.
A burst of pneumonia cases early this year may have been COVID-19 deaths that simply weren’t recognized as such early in the epidemic. But there also have been an unexpected number of deaths from certain types of heart and circulatory diseases, diabetes and dementia, Anderson said.
Many of those, too, may be related to COVID. The virus could have weakened patients already struggling with those conditions, or could have diminished the care they were getting, he said.
Early in the epidemic, some were optimistic that car crash deaths would drop as people stopped commuting or driving to social events. Data on that is not yet in, but anecdotal reports suggest there was no such decline.
Suicide deaths dropped in 2019 compared with 2018, but early information suggests they have not continued to drop this year, Anderson and others said.
Drug overdose deaths, meanwhile, got much worse.
Before the coronavirus even arrived, the U.S. was in the midst of the deadliest drug overdose epidemic in its history.
Data for all of 2020 is not yet available. But last week the CDC reported more than 81,000 drug overdose deaths in the 12 months ending in May, making it the highest number ever recorded in a one-year period.
Experts think the pandemic’s disruption to in-person treatment and recovery services may have been a factor. People also are more likely to be taking drugs alone — without the benefit of a friend or family member who can call 911 or administer overdose-reversing medication.
But perhaps a bigger factor are the drugs themselves: COVID-19 caused supply problems for dealers, so they are increasingly mixing cheap and deadly fentanyl into heroin, cocaine and methamphetamine, experts said.
“I don’t suspect there are a bunch of new people who suddenly started using drugs because of COVID. If anything, I think the supply of people who are already using drugs is more contaminated,” said Shannon Monnat, a Syracuse University researcher who studies drug overdose trends.
