The Asian American men in Pennsylvania, Texas and Florida also live longer than Hong Kong women.
90-year life expectancy is possible for most people
Eat smart, have a positive attitude, become affluent or richer, take care of exercise and most people today can live to 90 or beyond. The people dying at 85 and 92 years now were born in the 1920s.
Those with university education also tend to live longer.
