US: State Life Expectancy

The Huffington Post has details on a new study out about life expectancy in the United States.  It breaks down trends and figures as of 2009, compares them with the previous 20 years, and provides data on both men and women, as well as information based on race.  You can find the story here.  An interactive map of study data can be found here.

A series of slides provides male and female life expectancy state-by-state.  In 2009, for example, the life expectancy in Massachusetts was 78.1 for men and 82.6 for women.  Also, you don't want to live in Mississippi.
