Is it diet, exercise, socialized medicine, or the intervention of Asgard? Is lutkefish the Fountain of Youth? |

Combined life expectancy in Canada is 82.14 years according to 2015 numbers. Similar to Gunfreak's numbers. I'd suspect the 2017 numbers are even better. |

The problem is determining disease amounts per units of people. For instance, Norways cancer rate is decreasing but it is still higher than Canada's. link The weird thing is the death rate per 100 000 people is 100 000! Therefore if there is a 10% drop in the death rate due to Cause A, then there will be a 10% increase in the other causes. Also it depends how you do your measurements. According to the WCRF, cancer deaths in Norway for men is the third highest in the world at 368.7 per 100 000. Not saying your numbers are wrong or that the WCRF numbers are right……but there is a discrepancy. Well, for women, you have us slightly beat! |
