Sorry, if I may just explain. People love collecting statistics. I do not think that a study is necessary. I would bet any amount of money on the following.

My bet is that if one creates the same circumstances in housing, education, jobs, access to recreation, non-discrimination and so on, the lifestyle would be the same. That is, there is nothing inherent among Travellers that creates a shorter lifespan except that which is imposed. I wish to make it absolutely clear: the housing is imposed.
