the claim

Left-handed people live longer on average than right-handed people.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that left-handed people live longer on average than right-handed people?

Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly measure average lifespan by handedness. One discussion notes cross-sectional studies showing fewer left-handers among the elderly, but attributes this to historical suppression of left-handedness rather than mortality, and another mentions left-handers' higher injury rates without any lifespan figures.
