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 is the reason women live more than men do today and how has this advantage increased in the past? The evidence isn't conclusive and we're left with only incomplete answers. We know that biological, behavioral and environmental factors all contribute to the fact that women have longer lives than men, but we don't know exactly how much the influence of each factor is.
We know that women live longer than men, regardless of weight. However, this is not because of certain non-biological aspects have changed. These factors are changing. Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Others are more complicated. 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. It is clear that every country is above the line of parity diagonally. This means that a newborn girl in all countries can anticipate to live longer than her brother.
This graph shows that while there is a female advantage throughout the world, the differences between countries are often significant. In Russia women live 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan the gap is just half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In wealthy countries, تحاميل مهبلية, Going Here, the longevity advantage for women was previously smaller.
Let's take a look at how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below shows men and women's life expectancies at birth in the US between 1790-2014. Two specific points stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. Men and women in the US live a lot, much longer today than a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
And second, there is an ever-widening gap: female advantage in life expectancy used to be extremely small however, it has increased significantly over the course of the last century.
It is possible to verify that these points are also applicable to other countries that have data by clicking on the "Change country" option in the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
