Diseases are more rife and this cuts the average down by quit a bit. In My country it is reported more than a third of people are living with AIDS and as we know you never die just from AIDS but something else like Tuberculosis or organ failure.</p>\n<p>The living conditions that a majority of Africans live in is not ideal and this is a hard life. The diet that most of them favor is a high meat diet and this causes high cholesterol. You and I would see a doctor regularly and be treated for such things but they don't and end up suffering from heart attacks and strokes.</p>\n<p>Education plays a big role in how we live and knowing what is good and bad for your body. I think overtime the new generation of African people should be better educated and this should help bring up the lifespan averages across the board.</p>\n<p><br></p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3h69wcjf","appParentAuthor":"whyaskwhy","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
