Measuring the number of years that an individual is expected to live with a specific
economic status is important for the following reasons: (1) to monitor the achievement
of national and international poverty and mortality reduction targets (eg, the Sustainable
Development Goals); and (2) to draw attention to the proportion of a population spending
considerable periods of life under a defined poverty line. Riumallo-Herl and colleagues1
contribute to this important debate by proposing a measure of poverty-free life expectancy
(PFLE) that combines information on health and economic status of a population.
It’s actually sort of shocking that the difference is only 14 years.
Yes, especially considering how deadly poverty is. And poverty isn’t even the lowest 1%. In fact in the US poverty is the majority. It must mean there’s confounding factors on the other side. Maybe the top 1% are genetically inferior. Makes sense, they are all narcissistic sociopaths so they are technically defective.
You got to be very careful. 1% is high, but not that high. You’re going to be finding lots of doctors and engineers and other people who do good important work and get paid because they do good important work. It’s a little bit higher than that that you start to see the real sociopaths. Members of Congress or Tech multi-billionaires.
