A study comparing more than 73,000 adults in the U.S. and Europe found that wealth does not protect Americans from a significant survival gap.
Researchers at Brown University’s School of Public Health found that even the wealthiest Americans had survival rates comparable to the poorest people in parts of Northern and Western Europe.
Researchers say factors including diet, smoking, stress, inequality and access to healthcare could help explain the difference.
