The study appears in the journal Population Health Metrics. Journal editor Chris Murray says at least one finding was unexpected.
这项研究发表在《人口健康指标》杂志上。该杂志主编克里斯·默里表示，至少有一项该研究中的发现出乎意料。
CHRIS MURRAY: "It's a real surprise to us in the study that women are faring so much worse than men."
默里：“这项研究中，女性预期寿命的境况比男性差这么多，真是出乎意料。”
Around the country, American women still live longer than men by five to eight years. But their international ranking has been falling since the nineteen nineties. Dr. Murray says women are increasingly taking risks with their health.
在美国各地，美国女性仍比男性长寿5-8年。但自上世纪九十年代以来，她们的预期寿命全球排名一直在下滑。默里博士表示，美国女性健康方面面临的风险在持续增加。
