From an article on the national news wires:
“Want to live longer? A new study suggests that where and how you live may be stronger predictors of longevity than access to health insurance or higher income.”
Among states, Hawaiians are living longest, around 80 for men and women, followed by California, Connecticut, Colorado, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Vermont and Washington. The average life expectancy in these states is 78.”
Here’s the full story.
It’s no surprise to me that Hawaiians live the longest. They get to live in the most beautiful place on earth.
This is a picture that my brother, Kevin Shanahan, took in June 2006. It is Kauai’s North Shore at sunset.
