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 reason women are more likely to live longer than men? What is the reason the advantage has grown in the past? We only have partial evidence and the evidence is not sufficient to draw an informed conclusion. Although we know that there are behavioral, biological as well as environmental factors which play a significant role in the longevity of women over men, we don't know what percentage each factor plays in.
In spite of the number of pounds, we know that at a minimum, the reason women live so much longer than men today, but not in the past, is to have to do with the fact that certain significant non-biological elements have changed. The factors changing are numerous. Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. There are other issues that are more intricate. 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 اوضاع الجماع 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 اوضاع الجماع - glorynote.com, women. It is clear that all countries are above the diagonal line of parity. This means that a newborn girl from every country could be expected to live for longer than her brothers.
It is interesting to note that, while the advantage for women is present everywhere, global differences are significant. In Russia women live 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan the gap is just half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage women had in life expectancy was smaller in rich countries that it is today.
Let's examine how the female longevity advantage has changed over time. The following chart shows the men and women's life expectancies when they were born in the US between 1790-2014. Two points stand out.
First, there's an upward trend: Men as well as women in the US are living much, much longer than they did 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, there's a widening gap: The female advantage in terms of life expectancy used be quite small but it increased substantially during the last century.
When you click on the option "Change country from the chart, you are able to check that these two points apply to the other countries having available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
