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.

It is known that women are living longer than men, regardless of weight. However, اضيق وضعية للجماع (Glorynote.com) this is not due to the fact that certain biological or non-biological factors have changed. These are the factors that are changing.

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 you can see, every country is above the diagonal parity line - this means in all countries that a baby girl can be expected to live longer than a newborn boy.1
This graph shows that even though women enjoy an advantage in all countries, the differences across countries can be significant. In Russia, women live 10 years more than males. In Bhutan the gap is less than half a calendar year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in terms of life expectancy was lower in developed countries than it is now.
Let's examine how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below illustrates the men and women's life expectancies at the time of birth in the US from 1790-2014. Two points stand out.
First, there's an upward trend. as well as women in the US are living much, much longer than they did a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
And second, there is an increase in the gap between men and women: female advantage in life expectancy used be very modest however, it has increased significantly over the course of the last century.
Using the option 'Change country' on the chart, you can verify that these two points are applicable to the other countries with available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
