We are aware that women are living longer than males, regardless of weight. However this isn't due to the fact that certain biological factors have changed. What are the factors that are changing? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. There are others 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 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 all countries are above the diagonal line of parity. This means that a newborn girl in every country can be expected to live for longer than her older brother.
This graph shows that although there is a women's advantage everywhere, cross-country differences could be significant. In Russia women have a longer life span than men. In Bhutan the difference is less than half one year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in life expectancy was smaller in developed countries that it is today.
Let's now look at the way that female advantages in longevity has changed over time. The following chart shows the male and female lifespans at birth in the US during the time period between 1790 and 2014. Two things stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. Women and men in America live longer than they used to 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, there's an increasing gap: The female advantage in terms of life expectancy used to be very modest, but it grew substantially over the course of the last century.
You can verify that these points are also applicable to other countries that have information by clicking on the "Change country" option on the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
