Born to Die: Who knew that living in the suburbs could be so dangerous?
Scientists writing in the journal Public Health even found that the strain of life in suburbia could leave residents prematurely aged, compared with city dwellers.
The study by the Rand Corporation, an American thinktank, discovered that the health profile of an adult with a home in the spacious suburbs of Atlanta was the same as someone who lived in inner-city Seattle but was four years older.
Four years? From every stand-point, be it medical or social, a four year difference is insignificant. This suburban dweller won't be losing any sleep over it. posted by Sydney on
