==============================================================
You can run through various scenarios of conditions, states, demographics and view where variables place them in a national statistical analysis.

States like Miss, Ar, WV, Ok, and D.C. not acquitting themselves well.
Hawaii, NH, and Utah healthier, less violent locales overall.

Was this information helpful to you?

Indeed. It's right up my alley. Mortality trends are useful tools for me.

I take it you do not feel enlightened.:laugh2:

It was enlightening 25 years ago when I first read something similar. For simplicity sake I have reduced it down to a simple statement that is easier to manage and provides me with the perspective I want.

"People are born and people die. From dust to dust we go." -Signals

However I did read another article on that site that I liked. The one about the broken heart. I liked it because I had read an article similar to it years ago and it made sense so I adopted the information into my belief system.

Now, when I read the same thoughts written by someone else I can say; "I knew that", and I feel smart. It appeals to my pride when old information is regurgitated in the mind and matches with new information from the internet.

This is not an original process, but I am sure when I stumble across some brain scientist on the interwebs that validates this, I can fill up with pride again.

BTW, I did learn something from the broken heart "information/article." That it is good to love deeply. Because it is better to die from a broken heart than any one of those things in the top 15 list.

Glad you found something useful here--signals-- an open mind is good. But the goal for me is not a sense of life fulfillment or extension as normally understood, if that is your perception; it's lessening the impact of chronic disease and mortality through gathering statistical data, governing info and improving communication, comprehension, direction of medical information, and implementing systems and structures of management. Assembling/sorting/classifying data is a necessary first step, not an endgame. It's to enhance quality of life regardless of presenting challenges via myriad adaptations propelled by these processes.

Interesting stuff.

Especially the geographic aspect.

You look at many of the states that are on the bottom of heart disease and nearly all have thriving, year round outdoor activities in nice climates.

Compare that to the top and you'll see many south eastern states where diets are largely centered on fried everything and humidity makes any attempt to go outside nearly miserable.

Cool. I initially thought you posted this just because you thought it was interesting, but it sounds like it's for work or school.

I'm interested in Bioinformatics as a new career. I sold a business this year and am looking for a new industry to get into after some respite. Being a man of leisure gets old for a Type A guy.

Cool!

I just plugged in my numbers.

I ain't goin' anywhere.

The Zone can relax now.
