It is known that women live longer than males, regardless of weight. But this is not because of certain biological or non-biological factors 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, ابر التخسيس 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 all countries are above the diagonal line of parity. This implies that a baby girl from every country could be expected to live for longer than her brother.
This chart is interesting in that it shows that although the female advantage exists across all countries, the difference between countries is huge. In Russia women live 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan, the difference is only half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage of women in life expectancy was smaller in developed countries that it is today.
Let's examine how the advantage of women in life expectancy has changed over time. The chart below shows men and women's life expectancies at the birth in the US during the period 1790 to 2014. Two areas stand out.
First, there's 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 increasing gap: The female advantage in life expectancy used to be extremely small but it increased substantially over the last century.
By selecting 'Change Country from the chart, confirm that the two points are applicable to the other countries with available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
