What Are the Odds You Will Be Alive This Time Next Year?
A new web site designed by Carnegie Mellon University will give the odds on you dying next year, or for whatever period you select, if you answer a few questions. It also will give you an idea as to the cause. DeathRiskRankings.com, analyzes publicly available data from the United States and Europe, and compares mortality risks by gender, age, cause of death and geographic region. Just input your data and it will give you the probable causes of your demise and an approximate time frame.
For guys, it’s bad news. Men have a much higher annual death risk than women at every age. For 20-year-olds, the risk is 2.5 to three times greater for men. Men are much more prone to accidents, homicides and suicides, and the risk of dying from heart disease is always higher for men than women.
