 Life Expectancy Hits All Time High
Associated Press - 12/8/2005: Americans' life expectancy increased again. According to the government's calculations, a child born in 2003 can expect to live 77.6 years on average, up from 77.3 the year before.
But after a century of nearly uninterrupted medical improvements and longer lives, it looks like the baby boomers could screw things up. A new government study shows deaths from heart disease, cancer and stroke continue to drop, but it also shows that half of Americans ages 55 to 64 - including the oldest of the baby boomers - have high blood pressure, and two in five are obese. This means that this large group of aging Americans is in worse shape in some respects than those born a decade earlier were when they were the same age.
