Life expectancy research

This is interesting although the report doesn't provide enough information.

BEING working class or marrying into the working classes could dramatically reduce an individual's lifespan, new research has claimed.

A study of hundreds of female twins found those deemed working class - employed in a manual, unskilled job - can expect to age significantly faster than their middle-class peers. It could reduce life expectancy by seven years.


Consider it in the context of the life expectancy difference between Maori and non-Maori.
