Life Expectancy Across The Line In North Carolina
Biostatistical findings by Dr. Abernathy of the North Carolina School of Public Health show life expectancy rising across the state from the Coastal Plain to the Mountains, with women living longer than men. While 1940 figures predicted 65 for boys and 69 for girls, 1950 data rose to 64 and 79, and 1960 census indicates 64 for boys but 83 for girls, signaling an eventual rise in widows as women reach the Golden Years.
