Study: Middle-aged Americans Much Sicker than British

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060502...me/sick_america

Even when comparing two identical groups (white middle-aged), Americans are sicker than the British. This study has tried to eliminate all extraneous variables.

quote:

CHICAGO - Middle-aged, white Americans are much sicker than their counterparts in England, startling new research shows, despite U.S. health care spending per person that is more than double what Britain spends.

A higher rate of Americans tested positive for diabetes and heart disease than the British. Americans also self-reported more diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, lung disease and cancer.

The gap between countries holds true for educated and uneducated, rich and poor.

"At every point in the social hierarchy there is more illness in the United States than in England and the differences are really dramatic," said study co-author Dr. Michael Marmot, an epidemiologist at University College London in England.

.....

The researchers crunched numbers to create a hypothetical statistical world in which the English had Americans' lifestyle risk factors. In that model, in which the English were as fat as the Americans, the researchers found Americans still would be sicker.

America has way too many different nationalities and people overall for a study like this. For example, some symptoms and disease are found in white or black people more than asians or natives for example, get my drift?

Though the overall fact that the American public is extremely unhealthy is no news. Hence the Healthy People 2010 program. Now in health classes we cover diets much more than before.

I believe the problem has been addressed and is working on being resovled.

Doctor doctor I'm sick!

Well how sick are you son?

I just fucked my pet hamster!

(was gonna go for a young Philipeno boy but decided against it in the interests of common decency)

To be fair when I saw the title I thought sick as in perverted and was gonna argue against it but sick as in ill? Well Americans eat too much fast food! Europeans probably drink more tho (when I went to America I was amazed to see so few bars! In America there is a fast food joint every other shop whereas in England and possibly Europe too the same could be said for pubs!)

All in all, I think we are all doing our best to avert the pensions crisis that will come about in the future!

The same could be said about the whites in Britain, I wouldn't imagine there'd be so much difference between these
