We know that women are living longer than men, regardless of their weight. However this isn't due to the fact that certain biological factors have changed. These are the factors that are changing. Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Others 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 men and women. We can see that all countries are over the diagonal line of parity. This means that a newborn girl from any country can anticipate to live longer than her brothers.
This graph shows that although there is a women's advantage across all countries, differences between countries can be substantial. In Russia women have a longer life span than males; while in Bhutan the difference is just half an hour.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In rich countries the female advantage in longevity was previously smaller.
Let's now look at how the female advantage in longevity has changed with time. The next chart plots male and female life expectancies when they were born 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 America live longer than they did 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, there's an increasing gap: The female advantage in life expectancy used to be extremely small however, it has increased significantly over the course of the last century.
If you select the option "Change country in the chart, you will be able to verify that these two points apply to the other countries having available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
