Live long and prosper in Hawaii, except for ……

Hawaii residents have the longest life expectancy of all states, according to the American Human Development Project by the New York-based Social Science Research Council.

The project determined that the average life expectancy in Hawaii is 81.5 years, while the shortest is Mississippi’s 74.8 years.

But hold on — that doesn’t mean all Hawaii residents can expect a lengthy retirement. Inexplicably, Asian-Americans’ nationwide average life expectancy is 87.3 years, but Asian-Americans living in Hawaii have the lowest, at 81.7 years. Likewise, Latinos living in the islands have the nation’s lowest average for that ethnic group, at 77.2 years.
