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. Why do women live much longer than men today and why has this advantage increased over time? The evidence is sketchy and we only have some solutions. We know there are behavioral, biological as well as environmental factors that all play a role in women's longevity more than males, we aren't sure the extent to which each factor plays a role.
We are aware that women are living longer than men, regardless of their weight. However it is not due to the fact that certain biological or non-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 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, صبغ الشعر بالاسود 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. It is clear that every country is over the line of parity diagonally. This means that a newborn girl in every country can expect to live longer than her brothers.
The chart below shows that although there is a women's advantage across all countries, differences between countries could be significant. In Russia women live 10 years longer than men; in Bhutan the gap is less than half an hour.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in life expectancy was less in rich countries than it is now.
Let's now look at how the female advantage in longevity has changed with time. The chart below illustrates the men and women's life expectancies at the birth in the US between 1790 to 2014. Two aspects stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. Both genders in America have longer lives than they used to a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is increasing: صبغ الشعر بالاسود While the female advantage in life expectancy used to be extremely small but it has risen significantly in the past.
You can confirm that these principles are also applicable to other countries with data by clicking on the "Change country" option on the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
