Why do meds and east asians have higher life expectancy than nordics?
>>
>>214882713
I'm not completely sure but I think it's mainly due to height negatively correlating with longevity, mostly due to more cells so an increased risk of cancer.
>>
Nordics are taller
More cells = more likely to get cancer

I don't know about East Asians, but I have a few ideas about Meds...

That's not how it works. Being taller goes potentially lead to more falls or mobility issues but just ties into lack of fitness and mobility training among the elderly. No human is actually huge enough for that to actually apply.

nordics dont get enough vitamin D and sunshine
>>
>>214883163
Most foods are vitamin enriched, including Vit D.
>>
>>214883176
yeah bro lets metabolize fake Vit D through the liver instead of Skin
>>
>>214883216
Vitamin D through the skin isn't remotely enough unless you want fucked up leather skin and premature skin aging.
>>
>>214883228
and Vitamin D "deficiency" is far from being a death sentence versus other ones.

>>214883159
cope, there have been 2100 supercentenarians and the tallest one was 6'3, tall pipo live less
>>
>>214882713
Welfare states tend to increase life expectancy.
>>
>>214882713
Something people always willfully ignore, diet
>>
>>214883159
Literally how it works retard. Nobody is talking mobility or old deathbed for 10 years lifestyle other than you. Taller people WILL naturally have a higher number of cells in their body. More cells, more potential points of failure that can go wrong. Regardless if you're 30/40/80 years old
>>
>>214882713
It's interesting that the asian and med countries have high avg expectancy, but there's still like 5 years difference between men and women.
But in nordic countries (and Australia, we're nordic :) the sex difference is smaller.

The trend seems to be that, generally, women live longer in more sexist countries.

>women live longer in more sexist countries
Look at qatar and uae and shut up

Where is USA ??
>>
diet and lifestyle, meds don't stress as much and drink lots of red wine, eat lots of seafood, lots of vegetables, olive oil also the north can be depressing and lonely as fuck so a lot of people here kill themselves which lowers life expectancy
>>
>>214885384
But you are le hecking happy
>>
>>214882713
because of no BBC

South korea pays boomers nothing and most homeless people are elderly

unironically HIV lowers their life expectancy

hiv in northern Europe? Did I miss something?

>why do the people living in paradise with great food live longer than the ones living in hell eating nothing but meat and potatoes everyday
>>
>>214882713
stress+alcohol
>>
>>214882713
Meds and east Asians have universal healthcare, drink less alcohol, eat less butter, have better weather and better family unity(being alone is worse than smoking and drinking for life expectancy, look it up)
>>
>>214885224
Bottom, less than china
>>
>>214882713
Because meds and east asians are frens. friendship power is strengthen our health power.
>>
I'm surprised to see australia up there

I've been, and they seem to eat unhealthily
>>
>>214882713
The difference, save the very top, is minimal between northern and southern europe
