American Women Are Dying Younger Than Their Moms

A bacterial culture would be much more fun.

...I am guessing lack of education about hygiene and bacteria transference.

Nope. The report specifies that the effects cross education 'boundaries' (affecting women with higher educations too).

Close but no cigar - the maps do not align perfectly and huge areas affected by climate change do not have higher/younger death rates for women. Might be a combination of factors including warming but that doesn't look like the main factor.

That is a pretty sobering trajectory. Maybe a closer study of just who these women are on a more personal level would provide answers. If it crosses all social levels, it has to be outside environment.

...the OP's comments and the data was SO out of whack with what I see in other studies

My opening comment was a sarcastic one-liner. I'm sure you know I do NOT believe women should be kept barefoot and pregnant. However, the data from this study does seem to show that even women with higher educations in these areas are subject to the same life-shortening factors. So my question stands. What's going on in these particular areas? And yes, I do suspect something environmental.
