Question 2
A 75-year-old white female patient says, I've heard that women live to an older age than men do. My husband and I are the same age, so I am afraid I will have to spend some years without him.
That really worries me. Which answer is based on correct information?
a. That is a realistic concern, as women do have a longer life expectancy than men. But many things can happen to change that.
b. You need not worry because both you and your husband are white. That statistic is true only for black men and women.
c. It is true that women have a longer life expectancy at birth. However, life expectancy measured at age 65 is almost the same for both sexes. You are both well past 65.
d. That is true only in certain geographical areas, such as those with a high population of newly retired persons.
