Even though the rate of chronic conditions is higher in Holocaust survivors, their mortality rates are lower compared to the general populations. The population of Israel is talked about here.
Holocaust Survivors Were at Increased Risk of Cancer Occurrence
The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.

‘It is believed that the unique characteristics of resilience among Holocaust survivors and better health literacy could be the reason why deaths rates are lesser among these people despite having a lot of Chronic conditions.’
Biological and psychosocial reasons that may help to explain the findings need more study, but researchers suggest unique characteristics of resilience among Holocaust survivors and better health literacy may be among the possibilities. This observational study included more than 38,000 Holocaust survivors in Israel who were born between 1911 and 1945 in Europe and nearly 35,000 people in a control group born in Israel during those same years. Both groups were insured by Maccabi Healthcare Services in Israel. The study used data collected from 1998 through 2017 and looked at heart disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, and death.
