Yarbrough: Womens biggest health threat? Dealing with men
Placeholder Image
I read several news reports recently about a study from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington and the Imperial College in London that says while women are still expected to live longer than men, the gap is closing. The study concludes that life expectancy for women in Georgia increased by a little less than three years while men increased more than 5½ years. Experts think some of the problem may be due to women having “limited culinary options,” especially those who live in some of the smaller counties in Georgia.
