Why Do
Women Live Longer than Men?
Women
generally live about six years longer than men. Evidence suggests that boys are
the weaker sex at birth, which means that more die in infancy. Also women do
not have as much heart disease as men. In terms of lifestyle, men smoke more
than women and thus more die of smoking –related diseases. They drink more and
are more aggressive in behavior, particularly when driving cars, so they are
more likely to die in accidents. Also they generally have more dangerous
occupations, such as building work.
Historically
women died in childbirth and men in wars. Hence nuns and philosophers often
lived to great ages. Now childbearing is less risky and there are fewer wars.
The country with the highest life expectancy is
Japan
, where the average age for
men is 76 and women is 89. |
