“These results are a remarkable reminder that even most wealthy Americans are not saved from US systemic affairs, which is expected, such as economic inequality or stress, diet or environmental risks such as risk factors,” Brown -based Professor of Health Services, Irin Pylanic and Poor Polas, and Polas.
The study considered the health and wealth data of more than 73,000 adults in the United States and Europe in 2010, aged 50 to 85 years old in 2010. More than 19,000 from the United States, about 27,000 from northern and Western Europe, about 19,000 from Eastern Europe, and 9,000 from southern Europe. For each region, participants were divided into wealth circles, the first of which was the poorest and the fourth richest. The researchers then followed the participants by 2022 and traced the deaths.
America was the biggest difference between the poorest and the wealthy compared to European countries. In the poorest quarters of the United States, the survival rate of all groups was the lowest, including the poorest quarters in the three European regions.
Although low access to health care and weak social structures can explain the difference between the rich and the poor in the United States, it does not explain the difference between the rich and the rich in Europe. The game can also contain other systemic factors that make Americans uniquely short -lived, such as food, environment, behavior, and cultural and social differences.
“If we want to improve health in the United States, we need to better understand the basic factors that participate in these differences, especially in similar social economic groups – and why they translate into different health results in countries,” said Papanicols, and why they translate into different health consequences in countries. “
