Lifestyle-Related Mortality

By
  • Julianne Callaway
In Brief

Contact  RGA's research team to learn more about the rise of chronic and non-communicable disease linked to lifestyle behaviors, and mortality risk. 

The World Health Organization has identified the rise of non-communicable diseases as a profound global threat. 

It should come as no surprise that spending excessive time behind a computer or on a couch, using tobacco products, or eating fatty foods could have negative effects on longevity.

To understand the relationship between lifestyle behaviors and mortality, RGA investigated two national, health-related, mortality-linked data sets provided by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). RGA Strategic Research Actuary Julianne Callaway discusses the company's findings.
