THE US HISPANIC LIFESPAN PARADOX EXPLAINED
Hispanics SHOULD have shorter lifespans than whites. Hispanics are less neotenic than whites, because they are higher in anatolian farmer(92), MENA(south eurasian, 84), African(70), and Amerindian-Siberian(86) admixture.

(This is why increases in Hispanic and African population are the causes for the aggregate decline in US average intelligence.)

However:
They have lower mortality rates in seven out of the 10 leading causes of death in the US, even though they are twice as likely to be living under the poverty line and three times more likely to lack health insurance, and more succeptible to diabetes.

Experts attribute this “Hispanic paradox” to a number of factors.

1) The population tends to be younger, compared to other demographic groups.

2) They have lower smoking rates, better diet and better general health – at least in the first few years after immigrating into the US.

3) Some analysts also believe that their family ties are stronger and help build a sense of community, contributing to a better health – especially in relation to mental health

There is something we can all learn from #2 and #3. 😉

AMERICAN VS UK DIVERGING LIFESPANS
(updated)
1) Life expectancy varies by neotenic evolution (race) trading low rate and depth of maturity and aggression for lifespan and self regulation. As such we see life expectancy for:
– Black Americans 70.8 years;
– Hispanic Americans 77.7 years
– White Americans 76.4 years
– Asian Americans 83.5 years
– Women 79.1 years
– Men 73.2 years
The women/men difference reflects a long-apparent, significant gap. Women have more chromosomal volume given two X chromosomes so can better repair cellular damage, and male behavior evolved to absorb cellular damage on behalf of women and children.

The only unexpected value is the hispanics, because the demographic distribution is too young, and not in america long enough to express negative american health behaviors. They are also more culturally insulated from the opioid epidemic.

2) Obesity is the greatest influence on american declines in health, and lowering of life expectancy. It also produces behavioral consequences that are not well discussed in the literature.

3) Yes the divergence is at the bottom and narrows to zero at the top of the income pyramid, but this is also due to class differences in self regulatory behavior.

4) Gun Deaths are an intentional misrepresentation for political reasons. More than half of gun deaths are suicides, and they are disproportionately white males over 50 due do lonliness. The vast majority of gun violence as well as crime is in the black community, where 14% of the population is responsible for half of all crime.

Europe retained the ability to culturally indoctrinate citizens, but the ‘civil rights’ movement and the race-marxist movement that drove it, removed our abilty to culturally indoctrinate minorities into high trust european behavioral norms (UK is failing right now too.)
