How do you think regional differences affect life in the US today?

Those in the Southern region included more elderly subjects; they were more likely to own their home despite earning less; and were more likely to be married.

In contrast, they also reported more positive experiences with their personal healthcare provider than Western participants. Southerners felt that they had greater control over their own health, perhaps in part due to a greater identification with the health teachings of the Adventist church.
