[ARC5] OT: life expectancy 1892

[radio_man at wbsnet.org]

Not really on ARC5 topic but.....

Interesting discussion, pulled out data had been collecting on same from
CIA reports, here in the US, Life Expectancy for a new born today is
around 78 years, while in Afganistan it is only 44 years.

The US being one of if not the richest country, has very poor life
expectancy facts, we rank down at 49th out of 224 nations. (car wrecks,
smoking and obesity are stated at contributing factors)

In 1892, from the insurance companies charts, was around 58 years, no hard
figures.

 Life expectancy figures from the 1700s and 1800s.  They are heavily skewed
> negative because of high infant and child mortality and- especially in the
