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 is the reason women are more likely to live longer than men? And how has this advantage gotten larger over time? The evidence isn't conclusive and we're left with only incomplete answers. While we are aware that there are behavioral, biological, and تحاميل مهبلية environmental factors which play a significant role in women who live longer than males, we aren't sure what percentage each factor plays in.
It is known that women live longer than men, regardless of weight. However, this is not due to the fact that certain non-biological aspects have changed. These are the factors that are changing. Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Others 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 men and تحاميل مهبلية women. As you can see, every country is above the diagonal parity line , this means in all countries baby girls can expect to live for longer than a new boy.1
This chart illustrates that, although there is a women's advantage throughout the world, the differences between countries are often significant. In Russia women have a longer life span than men. In Bhutan the gap is just half an hour.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage of women in life expectancy was less in rich countries than it is today.
Let's look at how female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The next chart plots male and female life expectancy at birth in the US between 1790 and 2014. Two points stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. Men as well as women in the US live much, much 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 a widening gap: The female advantage in terms of life expectancy used be extremely small however, it has increased significantly over the course of the last century.
It is possible to verify that these principles are also applicable to other countries that have data by clicking the "Change country" option in the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
