Researchers find growing ‘mortality gap’ between Democratic and Republican counties (msn.com)
Researchers find growing ‘mortality gap’ between Democratic and Republican counties (msn.com)
Mortality rates since 2001 have decreased more in Democratic counties than in Republican counties, creating a widening mortality gap, a new study shows.
The study, conducted in part by investigators from Brigham and Women’s Hospital, examined mortality rates and federal and state election data across the country from 2001 to 2019. They found a mortality gap — or a widening difference in death rates — between counties that had voted for a Democrat or a Republican in previous elections.
Specifically, mortality rates fell 22% in Democratic counties, as compared to only an 11% decrease in Republican counties.
