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's the main reason women live longer than men? Why is this difference growing as time passes? We only have partial evidence and the evidence isn't sufficient to reach a definitive conclusion. We recognize that biological, behavioral and environmental factors all contribute to the fact that women have longer life spans than men, However, we're not sure what the contribution of each of these factors is.
In spite of how much amount of weight, we are aware that at least a portion of the reason why women live longer than men do today, but not in the past, has to be due to the fact that some significant non-biological elements have changed. These variables are evolving. 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 men and women. It is clear that all countries are over the line of parity diagonally. This implies that a baby girl in all countries can anticipate to live longer than her younger brother.
Interestingly, this chart shows that the advantage of women exists in all countries, cross-country differences are large. In Russia, women live 10 years more than men. In Bhutan the difference is less than half a calendar year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The female advantage in life expectancy was less in rich countries than it is today.
We will now examine how the gender advantage in terms of longevity has changed over time. The next chart shows male and female life expectancies at birth in the US from 1790 to 2014. Two areas stand out.
There is an upward trend. as well as women in the US are living much, 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 widening: تحاميل مهبلية While the female advantage in life expectancy was tiny, it has increased substantially over time.
If you select the option "Change country in the chart, you can verify that these two points are applicable to the other countries having available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
