Life expectancy for 40-year-old New Yorkers rose to 82 in 2009, a 2.5-year increase from 2000 slightly more than double the increase for middle-aged Americans on the whole. Life expectancy for 70-year-olds in New York also increased by 1.5 years, compared with 0.7 years for the country on average. Go figure.
If you want to live longer and healthier than the average American, then come toNew York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg told reporters at a press conference announcing the new figures on Tuesday.
Is it something in the water? Not quite. According to Bloomberg, the success can be attributed in part to his administration s aggressive public-health programs, which have sought to reduce smoking, cut salt consumption, encourage healthy eating and ban trans fats from food.
At the press conference, held in the maternity ward of Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley noted that since 2002, nearly half a million New Yorkers have quit smoking the smoking rate is now down to 14 out of every 100 New Yorkers for which the city administration credits the mayor s intensive anti-smoking efforts, including the ban on smoking in bars and restaurants, the establishment of an excise tax on cigarettes and a quit-line for those who need help kicking the habit.
