Everywhere in the world women live longer than men - but this was not always the case. The available data from rich countries shows that women didn't live longer than men in the 19th century. What makes women live much longer than men today, and why have these advantages gotten bigger over time? There is only limited evidence and the evidence isn't sufficient to support an unambiguous conclusion. Although we know that there are biological, psychological, and environmental factors which play a significant role in women's longevity more than men, we do not know the extent to which each factor plays a role.
In spite of how much amount of weight, we are aware that a large portion of the reason why women live so much longer than men in the present but not previously, has to do with the fact that a number of important non-biological aspects have changed. The factors changing are numerous. Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Some are more complex. For example, there is evidence that in rich countries the female advantage increased in part because infectious diseases used to affect women disproportionately a century ago, so advances in medicine that reduced the long-term health burden from infectious diseases, especially for survivors, ended up raising women's longevity disproportionately.
Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for تحاميل مهبلية men and women. As you can see, every country is above the diagonal line of parity - it means that in all nations a newborn girl can expect to live longer than a newborn boy.1
The chart above shows that the advantage of women exists in all countries, country-specific differences are huge. In Russia women are 10 years older than males; while in Bhutan the gap is less than half an hour.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in life expectancy was smaller in rich countries as compared to the present.
Let's examine how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The next chart shows male and female life expectancy at birth in the US during the time period between 1790 and 2014. Two aspects stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Men and women in the United States live longer than they used to a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, the gap is widening: While the advantage of women in life expectancy used to be extremely small but it has risen significantly with time.
By selecting 'Change Country by country' in the chart, you can verify that these two points apply to other countries that have available information: Sweden, France and تحاميل مهبلية the UK.
