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, behavioral and environmental variables that all play a role in women who live longer than men, we do not know how much each factor contributes.
In spite of the amount of weight, we are aware that at a minimum, the reason women live so much longer than men in the present and not in the past, is to have to do with the fact that certain key non-biological factors have changed. What are these new factors? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. There are other issues 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. As we can see, all countries are above the diagonal parity line ; it means that in all nations the newborn girl is likely to live for longer than a newborn boy.1
The chart below shows that even though women enjoy an advantage throughout the world, كيفية إقامة علاقة بالصور the differences between countries can be substantial. In Russia women are 10 years older than men, while in Bhutan the difference is less than half an hour.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In wealthy countries, the advantage of women in longevity was not as great.
Let's see how the female longevity advantage has changed over time. The following chart shows the male and female life expectancies when they were born in the US between 1790-2014. Two distinct points stand out.
There is an upward trend. as well as women in the US are living much, much longer than they did 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The second is that there is an increasing gap: The female advantage in life expectancy used to be quite small but it increased substantially in the past century.
If you select the option "Change country in the chart, you can check that these two points apply to the other countries with available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
