White women are dying at a slightly younger age while black men live longer; that’s according to a report by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Center for Health Statistics.
The life expectancy for non-Hispanic white women in the United States declined by one month — from 81.2 years to 81.1 years — from 2013 to 2014.
