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? And why does this benefit increase as time passes? We only have partial evidence and the evidence is not strong enough to make an informed conclusion. We know that biological, behavioral and environmental factors all contribute to the fact that women have longer lives than men, but we don't know exactly how significant the impact of each of these factors is.
We have learned that women live longer than men, regardless of their weight. However this is not due to the fact that certain non-biological aspects have changed. What are the factors that are changing? Some are well known and كيفية إقامة علاقة بالصور 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, كيفية إقامة علاقة بالصور all countries are above the diagonal parity line - this means that in all countries baby girls can expect to live longer than a newborn boy.1
The chart above shows that the advantage of women is present everywhere, global differences are significant. In Russia women have an average of 10 years more than men; in Bhutan the gap is less than half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage of women in terms of life expectancy was lower in the richer countries than 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 expectancies at the birth in the US during the period 1790 until 2014. Two aspects stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Both men and 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.
There is an increasing gap: The female advantage in terms of life expectancy used to be very modest however it increased dramatically over the last century.
