Statistical Models And Causal Inferences Affect Cancer Survival Rates
There are differences in the length of life expectancy figures after diagnosis of cancer. In general countries tend not to discuss the results as life expectancy because causal factors such as the environment and lifestyle have an impact on the results. Life styles are important indicators of general health but the US fares badly in lifestyle comparisons when compared to other countries partly because of their obesity levels across all ages and races. US health authorities prefer to look at the statistical figures as cancer survival statistics because there they look better.
