If you are a 50-year-old white woman, you have a 9.9 percent chance of a cancer diagnosis thus far in your lifetime and a 6.9 percent chance of diabetes. But fast forward 20 years: At 70 your risk for both diseases will roughly double, based on current trends. If you are Hispanic, you'll face different health challenges.

Which countries match the GDP and population of America's states? IT HAS long been true that California on its own would rank as one of the biggest economies of the world.
