Do you want to live a long life? Don't leave Massachusetts. A new NiceRx study ranked all 50 states based on life expectancy. As far as the state with the highest life expectancy: Hawaii. They topped the list with the average person living to be 80.7 years old. That's about four years higher than the national average, which dropped for the second year in a row in 2021 to 76.4 years. That is mostly due to COVID-19. On the flipside, Mississippi came in dead-last, with a life expectancy of 71.9, nearly 10 years less than Hawaii. Generally, the regions with the highest life expectancy are on the East and West Coasts of the U.S., and the lowest are in the South and Midwest. The difference between men and women has also widened. Now, men in America have an average life expectancy of 73.5 years, while women can expect to live until age 79.3. Where did Massachusetts rank? Believe it or not, 4 states in the top 10 are in England. Below is a list of the top 10 states as far as life expectancy.
