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. Why do women live more than men do today, and why is this difference growing over time? The evidence is sketchy and we're only able to provide some solutions. We know that behavioral, biological and environmental factors all contribute to the fact that women live longer than men; However, we're not sure how strong the relative contribution to each of these variables is.
It is known that women are living longer than males, regardless of weight. But, this is not because of certain biological factors have changed. These variables are evolving. Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Other are more complicated. 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 اضيق وضعية للجماع men and women. We can see that every country is above the diagonal parity line ; this means that in all countries baby girls can expect to live for longer than a newborn boy.1
Interestingly, this chart shows that although the female advantage exists everywhere, the cross-country differences are large. In Russia, women live 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan the gap is just half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in life expectancy was less in the richer countries that it is today.
Let's examine how the advantage of women in life expectancy has changed over time. The following chart shows the gender-based and female-specific life expectancy at the birth in the US in the years 1790 to 2014. Two points stand out.
There is an upward trend. Both genders in the United States live longer than they were a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is getting wider: Although the advantage of women in life expectancy used to be very small, it has increased substantially in the past.
By selecting 'Change Country' on the chart, you can check that these two points also apply to other countries with available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
