Very interesting data in that link.
HIV highest in southern states, no brainer...but cancer highest in Maine :headscratch:
Another odd finding: Colorado I often here is the "healthiest" state, when I lived there, I would concur that a greater % of ppl SEEM to be interested in outdoor stuff/exercise; the tourist industry there revolves around it. But look at Colorado with disease, ummmm California has better rates/higher life exp.; again :headscratch:
Cancer data shows higher prevalence in states with colder climates; hmmmmm, only an observation (maybe no correlation).
Enjoy

Why is it a no brainer that hiv is highest in southern states?

You could argue less/dumber eduaction = lesser income= more sex and more people who cannot afford healthcare. Just an observation from someome who lives in GA.

I'll quote a kid I played ball against in High School from Habersham co. 'Ain't nothing to do in Habersham but get high, have sex and go to the Dairy Queen'. That's Georgia Mountain people there. SO I assume South Georgia is just as bad.
-
Oh yeah, I forgot the drug part haha.
Yeah in south and east GA, I'm sure it is a lot worse. Lots of poor impoverished towns, most people on welfare housing support, the south has a lot higher black population than the north. Hwoever, in Atlanta and NE suburbs there are nice places with decent people who are smart.

Yeah been threw Waycross quite a few times. Gwinnett was nice until Lawndart moved here. There are quite a few communities up north that are really nice and more affluent than most.

You could also argue that, being in the Bible Belt, there is an aversion to teaching good scientific sex/health education, being form Georgia.....

What causes cancer?
Atomic power
Three mile island USA
Windscale UK
Chenoble USSR
Fukjama Japan
It took the governments exactly 2 weeks to get that japanese power station out of the media and its still pissing out radioactive waste.
Not lamb chops or beer.

That wasn't an intentional dig at the South or the ppl. I love the South, but it's not a secret that health, healthcare knowledge and health care gets the worst marks in the deep south.
Sorry Coppr, I disagree, but won't touch what you said, Fugi would be along. HIV, these days, is much more often transmitted by IV drug abuse than by sexual intercourse.
Zach, cancer existed before nuclear power? The sun is a pretty powerful source of radiation, no? In the old days ppl died for other causes before cancer got them? Or cancer wasn't known well enough to put on the coroner's report?

Well that and the 2000 nuclear weapons detonated around the world last century.

It's not politics, it's what we assume to be fact extrapolated from data.
Poor areas always have worse health than affluent areas. This is both due to less actual medical care, and stress, which has a ridiculous impact on our overall health.
Areas where an abstinence approach to sex education (historically stemming from religious roots and still strongly backed) have much higher rates of teen pregnancy, and STI's.
Black communities also have higher rates of both than average white communities for reasons economic, educational, and cultural.
This is supported by hard data. Avoiding it because politics makes no sense. We can have a logical discussion about data and it's interpretations and implications without dragging this into the realm of politics and religion bashing.

IF we stick to the facts, which is the only reason I put the link up, then yes we can converse devoid of R&P.
I just found the link interesting. It was in some of my nursing prep and I only put it up so someone could look up where they live and be more informed about what is more prevalent in their region vs. another.
It's merely for ruminating purposes, not meant to start a conversation about socioeconomics; it was my fault for mentioning HIV and the South.
