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, this is not due to the fact that certain biological or زيوت تطويل الشعر non-biological factors have changed. These are the factors that are changing. 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 زيوت تطويل الشعر 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 above the line of parity diagonally. This implies that a baby girl from every country could expect to live longer than her brothers.
The chart above shows that although the female advantage is present everywhere, cross-country differences are large. In Russia, women live 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan, the difference is only half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage women had in terms of life expectancy was lower in countries with higher incomes than it is now.
Let's examine how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below illustrates the gender-based and female-specific life expectancy at the birth in the US in the years 1790 until 2014. Two areas stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Both men as well as women in the US live much, much longer today than a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is growing: Although the advantage of women in life expectancy was once very small It has significantly increased over time.
If you select the option "Change country in the chart, you will be able to confirm that the two points are applicable to the other countries having available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
