This told me to what extent the life expectancy gap closed between the race groups once income was equalized.
Numerous existing studies on the topic have found that mortality differences are associated with certain socioeconomic disparities, but have not determined to what extent the life expectancy gap can be explained by such contrasts, noted author Michael Geruso, a doctoral student in Princeton's Department of Economics.
Diet, healthcare and general living standards have all improved to such an extent that our life expectancy has doubled in the past 200 years.
Homeless people suffer disproportionately from health problems, to such an extent that the life expectancy of a person sleeping on the streets is 42 52 years.
Mortality indicators are not adequate for this purpose, given the considerable policy interest for many populations as to whether – and to what extent – gains in life expectancy have been accompanied by improvements in non-fatal health status [ 9, 42- 45].

In this study, we examined the life prognosis and the extent of improvement of life expectancy in hepatitis C patients with IFN treatment, using the general residents of an isolated island in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan, as a control group.
Background: Throughout industrialized countries, tobacco consumption is seen as the predominant driver of both the trend and the extent of gender differences in life expectancy.
The generalisability of the results from the included trials is questionable to the extent that performance status and life expectancy criteria applied in the majority of the studies will have led to the selection of patients who may have been somewhat healthier than those who would be offered psychosocial intervention in practice.
To a large extent, this explains the chasm in life expectancy between white people and so-called minorities.
