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 main reason women live longer than men? What is the reason is this difference growing as time passes? We have only a small amount of evidence and العاب زوجية the evidence isn't strong enough to make an informed conclusion. We know that biological, behavioral and environmental factors play a role in the fact that women live longer than men; however, we aren't sure how significant the impact of each of these factors is.
We know that women live longer than males, regardless of weight. However this isn't because of certain biological factors have changed. What are these factors that have changed? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Certain 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 العاب زوجية (my sources) men and women. As we can see, all countries are above the diagonal parity line , it means that in all nations baby girls can expect to live longer than a new boy.1
This chart is interesting in that it shows that the advantage of women exists in all countries, global differences are significant. In Russia women live 10 years longer than males. In Bhutan there is a difference of only half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In rich countries the longevity advantage for women was not as great.
Let's look at how female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The following chart shows the gender-based and female-specific life expectancy when they were born in the US in the years 1790 to 2014. Two distinct points stand out.
First, there's an upward trend. and women in the US live a lot, much longer today than a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, the gap is increasing: While the female advantage in terms of life expectancy was quite small It has significantly increased over time.
By selecting 'Change Country' on the chart, you will be able to confirm that the two points apply to other countries that have available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
