Answer: 2.0 years
Explanation:
NOTE:
17% of the U.S. population lives in rural areas, while 83% in urban areas.
During the past 40 years, there is a consistent overall increase in U.S. life expectancy from 70.8 years in 1970 to 78.7 years in 2010. However, a decade ago, a study reveals the rural-urban gap widening from 0.4 years in 1969 through 1971 to 2.0 years in 2005 through 2009.
Study showed that 70% of the overall rural-urban gap in life expectancy and 54% of the life expectancy gap between the urban rich and rural poor in 2005 to 2009 are caused by accidents, cardiovascular disease, COPD and lung cancer.
A combination of factors likely accounts for this disparity. Compared to urban areas, rural areas have higher rates of both smoking and lung cancer, plus obesity, yet reduced access to health care services. Also, rural dwellers have a very low median family income, higher poverty rate and very few have college degrees.
Evaluate that there is not a fracture
It is important for goals to be measurable because it adds to their specificity and allows you to track your progress toward your achievement. With measurable goals, you can know exactly what you are trying to accomplish and what you need to meet to improve. For example, if you set a goal saying, “I want to be doing 80 sit ups in a minute by the end of this month by increasing my total amount of sit ups by 4 a day” you are now not only able to track how much you are increasing each day, but can see your specific total you are working for and track your progress on your way to reaching that goal.
Always make sure to set realistic goals that follow the MAD guidelines:
M-Measurable
A- Attainable
D- Deadline Driven
I hope this helps! :)
