Left-Handed People Statistically Die Younger

Studies have shown that left-handed people have a statistically shorter average lifespan, primarily due to a world designed for right-handed people.

About this fact

Research has found that left-handed people have an average lifespan about 9 years shorter than right-handed people. This isn't due to any inherent biological weakness, but rather because we live in a world designed for right-handed people. Left-handed individuals face higher rates of accidents from using tools, machinery, and vehicles designed for right-handed users. They're more likely to have industrial accidents, car crashes, and injuries from everyday objects. Additionally, left-handed people show higher rates of certain health conditions and may face more stress from constantly adapting to a right-handed world. However, it's important to note that these are statistical averages, and individual outcomes vary greatly.
