| dc.description.abstract | Examining data on the congressional district level may better align with the interests of Members of Congress who have the power to implement federal health policies. Despite this importance, measurement of health indicators at the congressional district level remains widely understudied. In this study, we estimated overall life expectancy and variation within each congressional district by computing standard deviations of census tract-level age-specific life expectancies for 2010-2015. We found smaller standard deviations in congressional districts with higher overall life expectancy at younger ages, but the pattern was reversed at older ages. | - |
