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 is the reason women live longer than men? And how is this difference growing in the past? We only have partial evidence and the evidence is not sufficient to reach an unambiguous conclusion. While we are aware that there are behavioral, biological as well as environmental factors which all play a part in women's longevity more than men, we don't know what percentage each factor plays in.

In spite of the precise number of pounds, we know that at a minimum, the reason women live so much longer than men today however not as in the past, is to have to do with the fact that several important non-biological aspects have changed. What are these factors that have changed? 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 ابر التخسيس, https://glorynote.com/%D8%A7%D8%A8%D8%B1-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%AE%D8%B3%D9%8A%D8%B3/, 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 you can see, all countries are above the diagonal line of parity - this means in all countries baby girls can expect to live for longer than a new boy.1

The chart below shows that while there is a female advantage throughout the world, the differences between countries could be significant. In Russia, women live 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan, the difference is just half a year.

__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage of women in life expectancy was smaller in the richer countries as compared to the present.
Let's examine how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below illustrates the gender-based and female-specific life expectancy at the time of birth in the US from 1790 to 2014. Two areas stand out.

First, there is an upward trend. Women and men in the United States live longer than they used to 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.

The gap is growing: Although the advantage of women in life expectancy was once quite small, it has increased substantially over time.

You can check if these points are also applicable to other countries with information by clicking on the "Change country" option in the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
