Midwest Life Expectancies Show Regional Longevity Gaps
A Metropolitan Life Insurance study finds the West North Central states have the highest life expectancy at birth for whites, about 65.23 for males and 69.22 for females, while the Mountain States lag. At age 45, men and women in the West North Central region can expect roughly 28 to 30 more years, whereas the Middle Atlantic area shows the lowest gains. The Pacific Coast leads in preventing infant mortality, while regional disparities reflect living standards, industrialization, and healthcare access. The report calls for targeted efforts to reduce premature deaths nationwide.
