Your Zip Code = Your Lifespan?

Wild stat: where you’re born in the US can literally add or subtract decades from your life. A new Yale study found that babies born in California or New York gained over 20 years in life expectancy since 1900, while some Southern states barely added 3 years. Washington, D.C. went from one of the worst to one of the best, thanks to public health changes. Meanwhile, places like Kentucky are still stuck. Proof that policy, poverty, and even smoking bans can make or break your future. #LifeExpectancy #HealthInequality #PublicHealth #USNews #PolicyMatters #Health
