Abstract
The author comments on a study by S. H. Woolf, published in the issue about life expectancy in the U.S. She discusses some caveats on the comparisons presented by Woolf in discussing methodology and data, three of the four causes that Woolf notes are causing midlife mortality to rise in the U.S., and results that do not make a lack of higher education causal in the higher mortality rates for those without a four-year college degree.
