Being left handed and also having many friends that are left handed, I really appreciate your question!.
In years past when people were just starting to create things to make life easier most equipment was made to favor the right handed person!. So indead it was much more likely that left handed people would not live as long as the changes of them getting seriously hurt by these newly created products was very high!. For instance, farm equipment and items for the kitchen and household upkeep were made to be used in the right hand!.!.!.or dominant hand!. When a person was not dominant in the right hand they would try to use their right hand to work the item and because that hand for a left handed person is weaker in most instances they had a higher incidence of getting seriously hurt or killed by not having the strenght to work the item properly!.
Think about how a notebook or piece of paper is set up!. We write from left to right!. This was orginated to keep the right hand from smearing the liquid ink as the hand would follow along the page to write the sentence!. Some also would say that years ago left handed people died sooner just from the shear stress of trying to live and function in a world created for and by right handed people!. Not to mention how many people that were born left handed were forced to be right handed because is was considered a curse to left handed years ago!.!.!.Sadly, some people still see it that way!.
Society has come a long way since those times of old and many companies have made products to make the left handed person's life easier!.!.!.
I don't believe that there is an age difference between left and right handed people now!. I just think that is the right handed people trying to scare us!! Hahaha!!
Never fear there are more and more lefties all the time!.!.!.Mostly because the crazy practice of turning the lefties to righties is coming to an end!.!.!.Or at least we can hope!!!

No, don't worry!. Let me guess, you are left handed!?

There is no scientific evidence that left-handed people have shorter life expectancies than right-handed people!. There are statistics showing a correlation but remember correlation does not mean causation!. We do not know any number of factors that play into those statistics!. So it is flawed to say so without the use of proper scientific method!.

Life expectancy has no real relationship with what hand you dominantly use!. In some enviornments, left handed people might have more challenges to overcome because things are structured/created to accommadate to the more common hand used among humans!.

However, life expectancy does have a strong connection with diet, exercise, genetics, lifestyles, stress, environment and such!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Statistically, right-handed people do live longer then left-handed people!.

Its around 6-10 years, you can google it for more information!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
