The United States ranks #40 in the world in life expectancy and our ethnic diversity works for us and against us in this regard. An example of where it works in our favor is our Asian American population. We believe the chart below proves that Asian Americans live longer than any ethic group in the world, far longer than they live in their native countries. Check out the list of the top 10 countries in the world above and then review Asian American life expectancy for each of our 50 states and you'll see that if the Asian population were isolated virtually every state would rank in the top 10 in the world.
