美国人的平均寿命目前处于创纪录的高位，从1970年到1983年总共增加了3.8岁。然而，女性的预期寿命仍然明显高于男性。按照 1983 年美国的死亡率计算，女性的预期寿命为 78.3 岁，而男性的相应数字为 71 岁。女性良好的生存体验部分归因于她们患肺癌（癌症死亡的主要原因）和冠心病（CHD）（美国所有死亡的主要原因）的发病率较低。与这一令人鼓舞的消息相反的是，目前已知，美国今年预计每年约有 12 万人因肺癌死亡（加上数万其他癌症死亡），其中 85% 至 90% 是由吸烟造成的，2 以及可能占所有癌症死亡人数的 20% 或更多。
The average lifespan of Americans is currently at a record high, having increased 3.8 years overall from 1970 to 1983.1The life expectancy of women, however, is still markedly higher than that of men. At 1983 US death rates, women can expect to live 78.3 years, while the corresponding figure for men is 71 years. The favorable survival experience of women has been due, in part, to their lower rates of lung cancer, the chief cause of cancer deaths, and of coronary heart disease (CHD), the leading cause of all US deaths. In contrast to this encouraging news is the fact that, at present, cigarette smoking is known to be responsible for 85% to 90% of the approximately 120,000 annual lung cancer deaths expected this year in the United States (plus several tens of thousands of other cancer deaths),2as well as perhaps 20% or more of all
