Do Christians die at the same rate as non-Christians?

Question

Studies of more than 126,000 people have shown that those who regularly attend church are 29 per cent more likely to live longer than non-churchgoers. A University of Texas study found that church attenders live up to seven years longer than non-attenders, and the most regular attenders have the longest life expectancy.

A Duke University study of 2391 people who were at least 65 years old found that regular churchgoers who also prayed daily or studied the Bible daily were 40 per cent less likely to have high blood pressure than those who did not. Elderly churchgoers had better mental health and were less likely to have high degrees of a protein associated with age-related illness.

Answer 2

Living or dying we are the Lord's. I think Christians are more likely to die of old age then other things though because their dangerous activities are far less than people who do not believe or at least those who do not act on their beliefs.

Answer 3

All I know is, we're all going to die. The longer I'm here, the longer I have to serve other people but in the scope of eternity, 7, 10 or even 100 years is not all that long. They are some pretty interesting facts, however. Thanks for posting them
