Kozhikode: The Indian Medical Association in a recent study reported that the average life expectancy of doctors in Kerala is less than the commonman. A study under IMA research cell revealed the fact.

The study also pointed out that death of majority of doctors in Kerala is due to cancer and cardiac diseases.


Average life expectancy of an Indian is 67.9 years. Meanwhile, Kerala has a life expectancy rate more than national rate. It has been reported that average life expectancy of a Malayalee is 74.9 years.

But compared to the life expectancy of Kerala and India, Malayalee doctors have a much lower rate of 61.75 years.

The study from 2007 to 2017 reported the details. Among the diseased doctors, 87 percent are males and 13 percent females. When 25 percent death occur due to cancer, 2 percent from contagious diseases. Whereas 2 percent suicide cases was also reported among doctors.

Meanwhile, the study report has not clarified the reason for decreasing life expectancy. According to doctors, mental pressure is the major reason.

Long working hours, tension and a high number of patients affect the health of doctors. Compared to doctors, working staff in other sectors are not exposed to much pressure.

“High pressure, diabetes and cardiac problems are increasing among doctors,” said IMA president Dr. KK Agarwal.

A moment of silence for the doctors who help to keep it dark.

there is no point in living after 60-65.....No good looking girl on earth thinks a man is physically lovable beyond that age.....55 is when women lose their s--xual power----60 is when men lose their s--ual power (not in terms of erection but in terms of attracting nubile young ladies) so one should live max 5-10 years beyond that...and it will be a life well lived...beyond 65 is basically waiting for death

Then there is the notion of healthy life expectancy
Check out the blue sections

No need to mention 60+,
indian men's healthy life ends at 50+.

in UK, people have healthy sex life beyond 60, apparently... besides sex is not everything.
a lot of people beyond 80s live a decent quality life(not in some vegetative state).

Not agree, at least some people are different.

For example, a Chinese old man...

The 68 year old Chinese man married 22 year old African bride

btw, the bride is pregnant...

@livingdead

how many of the above 60 year old men are s--xing 30 yr old or 40 yr old women?? If you are say 66-67 and your partner is say 61-63....well then no thank you

@AndrewJin No point in being alive when you cannot attract fertile partners anymore..you have completed your evolutionary imperative....


@Two Yes that guy deserves to live long----but he is one among a million Chinese men his age.....and even then can he attract a 22 year old Chinese bride instead of Africa? that is the million dollar question

So I guess the current make up of indian men's healthy life expectancy (50+) is great for you.
OK, as long as you are happy.

doctors in subcontinent countries live wealthy but miserable life. parents want their kids to become doctors so that they act like money making machine. never ending exams,mental stress work load , unhealthy life style, race to get ahead make the vulnerable to develop high BP, heart diseases, stroke. etc.

I know many grandpas who had kids well into their 60s.
That generation has more or less ended.

Agreed.
Especially a large % of Muslim kids in Kerala, they're forced into medicine, male or female.
A matter of prestige.
They do fill up many top ranks, but that doesn't mean they're enjoying it.

not many 62 year old want to have children, whats the advantage of attracting fertile partner? plus I would leave the reason for being alive to the individual... generally speaking higher life expectancy suggest a healthier society.. if other societies have higher life expectancy(without much inherent genetic advantage).. I would think they are doing something better than us...

Our food sucks. Everything we think healthy is actually poisonous.

not only food but now our air is full of smog . people in cities are inhaling poisons of various kinds. humans have been converted to machines in the past 2-3 decades. recreational facilities, spare time, sports facilities are not available in our urban lives. i know some doctors who work 12 hrs daily for 6 days and on weekend they go to private clinics to earn some extra bucks. the humans have increased their "needs" to such an extent that to achieve these "needs" he has to work like a donkey 24/ 7. no time for enjoyment, family, thought development etc. earning more and more money is the only goal of our lives.

It is not about having children..It is just that fertile women generally also means s--ually appealing and younger women...one may use protection and then enjoy the charms of the woman, that ensures no children no responsibilties

The last age when a woman is s--ually appealing is around mid to late fifties...3-4 years since their menopause...and that too being generous...........last age a man is s..ually appealing is mid to late sixties..and that too stretching it

There is no point in enjoying a carnal congress with a 60+ woman even when you are a 60+ man......57 is the last honourable age for a woman to have carnal congress....67 is the last honourable age for a man
