The Life Expectancy for White Women Fell Slightly in 2014
New CDC data finds that, although life expectancy for all Americans remained flat in 2014 at 78.8 years, the life expectancy for white women fell slightly (from 81.2 years to 81.1 years). Experts warn that the negative health trends (high blood pressure, obesity, smoking) of Boomers could reverse longevity gains made over the past couple decades.
