EXPRESS,May 14, 2008 Mortality rate gap widening

Study links poor education to premature deaths in USA: The headline on page 1 in Express paper of the Washington Post dated May 14, 2008 issue. The difference in morality between highly educated and poorly educated people in the United States is very wide and growing wider,according to new research.

I have reason to believe that similar situation may exist in China since health is a field of human capital in economics. We must maintain good health as part and parcel re Sino-American Economics. World Health Organization(WHO) is an institution of maintaining international health apropos of economics of globalization.

Ahmedin Jemal, an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society said "Socio-economic disparity in mortality is pervasive and it continues to increase." Here we find Socio-economics as applied economics to serve any society. I have used Socio-Economics in my past blogs and many economists stressed Socio-Economics since the 1970s as I recall the past decades.

P.S. Pamela Counselman in Ohio wrote to AARP:"An End to Aging to extend our life spans" by learning foreign languages. Chinese is a form of art and music as elaborated in "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" www.rand.org or www.Amazon.com online book catalog for reference to end aging for longevity. All folks should be interested in longevity by learning a language. Nobody would impugn,indeed!
