Children born in the United States today can expect to live an average of 70 years -- a striking increase of almost 50 per cent in life* expectancy rate that prevailed at the turn of the century. ; Progress in Health Services, the <j monthly statistical bulletin published by the Health Information Foundation, reports in its April issue that improved knowledge and practice of nutrition, sanitation, child care and preventive mecpcine have added an average or twenty-three years to the life span of Americans since 1900, when the life expectancy of our children was only fortyseven years. - » The April bulletin also reports increases in life expectancy by race, showing that whil£ the na tion's white population advanced its life expectancy by. twentytwo years during the past halfcentury, the average life expectancy for Negroes has jumped twenty-nine years during the same period. As previously noted by the bulletin, women of both races have a decided advantage over, men in living longer.

Mjst of the" progress in lengthening the life span in the United States and such countries as Canada, the Scandinavian nations and Western Europe has stemmed from the marked progress in controlling infant mortality and deaths from communicable diseases. Although ranking slightly behind the Scandinavian nations, in terms of life expectancy, the United States leads all nations with populations as large and diverse as its own. With communicable diseases virtually eliminated as prime causes of death, future improvements in life expectancy depend on the establishment of uniform health- levels throughout the United States and continue progress toward the control of such degenerative diseases as cancer and heart disease. In countries with much lower life expectancies, communicable disease still rank 'as major causes of death. In Egypt, where the •death rate is twice as high as in the United States, diarrhea and other infective gastrointestinal disorders accounted for 38 per cent of all deaths in 1950. In this country, less than 1 per cent of all deaths were attributed to this cause ' Iff"the same year. While the gap is steadily being closed between the life expectancies of Negroes and whites, Negro males have the same mortality rate today that white males had in 1930; Negro females have the same life expectancy as white females in the early 1930's. "The number of years that we may expect to live increases with each decade," notes Foundation President George Bugbee in an editorial comment on the April bulletin," and with each decade comes new hope -- in the form of medical advances and through wiser utilization of medical care -- that life expectancy has the potential for .even further increases. . "It has been said, for example, that if diagnostic and treatment facilities for cancer were being used to best advantage, we would be saving more nearly one-half of all cancer patients instead of only one-fourth of them. By the same token, we are probably capable now of almost complete victory over many communicable diseases. that now more than ever in the past -- much* of the responsibility for longer life lies with the individual and especially in his readiness to take advantage of the benefits of medical care when they will do him the most good.
