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 reason why women have a longer life span than men? What is the reason is this difference growing as time passes? The evidence is limited and we have only incomplete answers. We know that biological, behavioral and environmental factors play a role in the fact that women live longer than men; but we don't know exactly what the contribution of each of these factors is.
We are aware that women are living longer than men, regardless of weight. However this isn't because of certain biological factors have changed. What are the factors that are changing? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Certain are more complicated. For اوضاع الجماع 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 every country is over the diagonal line of parity. This means that a newborn girl from every country could expect to live longer than her brothers.
This chart illustrates that, although there is a women's advantage everywhere, cross-country differences can be substantial. In Russia women live 10 years longer than men, while in Bhutan the gap is less than half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The female advantage in life expectancy was smaller in the richer countries that it is today.
Let's see how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below shows male and female life expectancy at the birth in the US between 1790 to 2014. Two distinct features stand out.
There is an upward trend. Men as well as women in the US have a much longer life span longer than they did 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The second is that there is an increasing gap: The female advantage in life expectancy used be very small however it increased dramatically over the course of the last century.
You can verify that these principles are also applicable to other countries that have data by selecting the "Change country" option on the chart. This includes the UK, اوضاع الجماع France, and Sweden.
