The literature to date has been more successful in documenting health inequalities than in explaining why these inequalities persist, including several recent contributions and evidence from other countries.

Data indicate an apparent protective effect of moderate alcohol intake on CHD mortality that cannot be attributed to the inclusion of subjects with CHD or related diseases into the nondrinker category.

The data strongly suggest that the observed alcohol-mortality relationships in prospective studies are produced by symptoms and disease present at the time of screening, and by the prior movement of men with such disorders into non-drinking or occasional drinking categories.

Differences in life expectancy by sex appear to be due, in part, to cigarette smoking, but also to occupational, environmental, and sociodemographic factors.

The message that the United States has achieved maximum life expectancy and should turn its attention from increasing it further to improving health status, functioning, and what has become termed “active life expectancy” assumes a homogeneous group of Americans keeping pace with one another in this lofty achievement.

39 Citations1983Daniel S. Hamermesh, F W Hamermesh
Analysis of original survey data shows White male smokers estimate their longevity as four years less than that of nonsmokers, roughly the actuarial difference; those who do not exercise perceive the same life expectancy as those who exercise, somewhat inconsistent with available information on mortality.
