Farming and longevity: Census data favor the tiller
United States Census Bureau figures for eighteen states in 1908 show farmers suffer fewer deaths from disease accidents and personal crises than other workers. Tuberculosis Brights disease and heart disease are less common among farmers though typhoid fever remains a rural risk due to unsanitary farm conditions. The data cover ages 25 to 64 and indicate the overall death rate from disease accident and self harm is lower for agricultural workers, supporting the case for “back to the soil” and healthier country living. The report notes the advantage is not universal but the grand total favors farmers.
