Abstract

Most mortality studies have explored the characteristics that contribute to early death. This article instead examines factors that lead to longer lives to determine whether healthy practices contribute years of life synergistically additively or partially and to show age and sex differences in cause-specific mortality. The results indicate that life expectancies in the United States for healthy agers approach 83 years for males and 93 for females. Even among healthy agers a large sex gap in mortality persists.
