This graph shows the relationship between state percent evangelical and state age 20-64 death rates. The relationship gets stronger while the percent Evangelical , as measured here, stays close to the same. This calls for looking at this relationship by specific causes.🧪💡☠️ - ThreadSky

So, it used to be that state death rate wasn't as highly correlated with % evangelical as it is now. Am I understanding this correctly?

If you do an internet search for church health insurance you will find what i think is a way churches make money by selling insurance that promotes praying for cure.

OMG, it looks like an insurance pitch. Not just prayer, you can also beg for money from the other members. But would these cover a significant percentage of people in any state?

But can they read and understand the science behind this chart?

Yup, the most prolife states have the lowest life(!!) expectancies

Can you provide a citation?

I managed to get the data pulled together yesterday, I forget what time a was able to make the graph this morning but outside of being on my desktop, the bluesky posting is it. I am 82 years old and a demographer , the life table tells me I don't have enough time left to go through submitting it.

As a spry, young 70 year old I chuckled but understand. Disappointing, but thanks for posting.

Did the age 20-64 death rate increase since the mid 1990s?

The attached graph is another plot of r's. It shows the correlation between year and death rate for 510 single year age by sex by Democratic, Mixed Party and Republican voting states. The Evangelical effect does not show up in hear because it is not correlated with age but is with Republican.🧪💡☠️

Why in God's Good Earth does that look like an elephant???

How about a flying dinosaur head?

Wow. The disparity between Republican stares and others really is striking between ages 40-60. A guess: obesity rates or diagnoses of Type 2 Diabetes for these states might show a similar disparity.

pecanjim.bsky.social•1 day ago

As I looked at this again this morning another point came to me. Obesity doesn't increase death rates until about age 55, a point that the last, females in Republican states, group's death rate finally heads down.

I think it is the party composition of the state boards that regulate the health insurance industry. There is software that allows them to predict who they are going to lose money on The Book Deadly Spin by Wendell Potter describes how it went into effect in chapter VIII.

I'm not sure if you taking the piss or making a serious point; if the latter, what do these correlations imply about morbidity in evangelical-rich states?
