This dire new examine was simply shared by Life Extension (an ironic web site identify contemplating the subject). Their “High US States With Longest Life Expectancy” locations Missouri at #42 in America for lengthy life span (or lack thereof). The map they included with the examine explains just a few of Missouri’s issues.
