vital statistics, differentiate


Research shows members of associations have increased job satisfaction, earn more money, and are generally happier people*. An ASQ membership can help achieve this while giving you the tools you need to become successful in your industry and differentiate you from the competition. So why wouldn’t you want to be a part of ASQ?

Vital Statistics

Risk, From a Broader Perspective


A 55-year-old man who smokes is as likely to die in the next 10 years as a 65-year-old who has never smoked. A 35-year-old woman is twice as likely to die in an accident as she is to die of breast cancer in the next 10 years.


New risk charts in a paper last month in The Journal of the National Cancer Institute provide a broader perspective than most of the risk calculators available on the Internet, because they cover the risks for 10 causes of death and for all causes combined, while differentiating by age and among smokers, nonsmokers and former smokers.
