Nepalese Mortality with source
>From the 1999 Economist "Pocket World in Figure"
Nepal ranks at #42 under the category Lowest Life Expectancy with an
overall life expectancy of 57.3
Female life expectancy is higher than 48.1 (the cutoff for the category)
Most countries with a lower life expectancy are in Africa.
Mortality from Cancer (a) is a problem in the developed world. The top
20 countries are listed with the Netherlands #1 at 25.7% and Norway at
#20 with 21.6%. The US is #16 at 22.7%
The motor vehicle death rate (a) in the States is 1.2%
(a) This data applies to a newborn baby over their lifetime.
The pocket guide is a great thing to have. It gives lots of quick
answers to questions like this one. You get one if you subscribe to The
Economist.

othercancers
Dear Franz, All,
I am afraid that it is neither funny nor ridiculous. I remember a study
made in Nepal, in a place where most houses do not have smoke-stacks
or smoke holes. As a consequence, most of the women have severe
respiratory problems and a life expectancy of less than 30 years.
Sorry, but I cannot
find the reference.
Have a nice, long or short weekend,
