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.

We know there are biological, psychological as well as environmental factors which play a significant role in women living longer than males, it isn't clear the extent to which each factor plays a role.
We have learned that women live longer than men, 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. Others are more complex. 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 اضيق وضعية للجماع 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. 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
This chart illustrates that, even though women enjoy an advantage in all countries, the differences across countries can be substantial. In Russia women have a longer life span than men, while in Bhutan the gap is just half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In the richer countries, the longevity advantage for women used to be smaller
We will now examine how the female advantage in terms of longevity has changed over time. The chart below shows gender-based and female-specific life expectancy at birth in the US during the period 1790 to 2014. Two areas stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. Men and women in the US have a much longer life span longer today than a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is getting wider: Although the female advantage in life expectancy was quite small however, it has grown significantly in the past.
By selecting 'Change Country in the chart, you are able to verify that these two points apply to other countries with available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
