Left-handers live as long: Washington (Reuter) - Lefthanders take heart - despite a recent study to the contrary, you may not die younger than your right-handed brethren, a group of US actuaries said.
The American Academy of Actuaries refuted a letter published earlier in The New England Journal of Medicine that "actually speaking, the research is faulty and may have led to erroneous conclusions," said James Murphy, executive vice president of the AAA.
In the Journal letter, researchers who studied the deaths of 1,000 southern Californians reported that right-handers, on average, live to be 75 years old. Left-handers typically die at 66. They also found that left-handers were more than five times as likely to die in accidents, often while driving.
