It is known that women live longer than men, regardless of weight. However this isn't because of certain non-biological factors have changed. What are these changing factors? 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 العاب زوجية 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 every country is over the diagonal line of parity. This means that a newborn girl in all countries can anticipate to live longer than her younger brother.
This chart shows that, while there is a female advantage in all countries, the differences across countries are often significant. In Russia women live for 10 years longer than males. In Bhutan the gap is only half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The female advantage in life expectancy was less in developed countries as compared to the present.
Let's look at the way that female advantages in longevity has changed with time. The chart below shows male and female life expectancies at the birth in the US between 1790 until 2014. Two aspects stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Women and men in America have longer lives than they were a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The second is that there is an ever-widening gap: female advantage in terms of life expectancy used to be extremely small, but it grew substantially over the course of the last century.
By selecting 'Change Country by country' in the chart, you will be able to determine if these two points also apply to the other countries with available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
