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.

We are aware 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. What are these factors that have changed? 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. As we can see, all countries are above the diagonal parity line - which means that in every country baby girls can expect to live for longer than a new boy.1
This chart is interesting in that it shows that although the female advantage exists everywhere, افضل كريم للشعر the global differences are significant. In Russia women have an average of 10 years more than males; while in Bhutan the gap is less than half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In rich countries the women's advantage in longevity was smaller
Let's look at how the female advantage in life expectancy has changed over time. The next chart compares the life expectancy of males and females when they were born in the US over the period 1790-2014. Two specific points stand out.
There is an upward trend. Men as well as women in the US live a lot, much longer than they did 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is growing: Although the female advantage in life expectancy was once tiny It has significantly increased with time.
By selecting 'Change Country from the chart, you are able to determine if these two points also apply to the other countries with available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
