Canadian+vs.+Chinese+-+Bernice

I'm comparing Canadians vs. Chinese

Hypothesis: since individuals from China have more varied lifestyle (east vs. west), the survivorship curve may be more flat (rural Chinese may die at young age while wealthy Chinese can live until older age). On the other hand, while Canada is considered as a developed country, it’s likely that the Canadians life in better lifestyles (or same as the people at eastern coast of China). Therefore, Canada’s survivorship curve may be more rounded, with most of the people living a long life. However both cuves will be the type 1 late loss curves

Data Presentation: 

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Evaluate: <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The two graphs show similar trends with most people living between 80 to 100 years old. My hypothesis is wrong though Canada is steeper and China a little flatter. The trends are not enough to show that Chinese are living at rural areas and only surviving until young age. Both graphs are type 1 late loss.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Limitation: - obituaries are written from people who are wealthiers and have the culture backgrounds. - so Chinese workers living in rural provinces will not receive and obituary when they are away - people in the China data base may only be people who come from the cities at the east coast and who are influenced by the western cultures - so population that live in different lifestyles and have different medication care may not be represented in the graphs
