The difference prevails across most countries. Attached here is world-wide statistical data

All across the world, women enjoy longer lifespans. David Robson investigates the reasons why, and whether men can do anything about it.

Male behaviors tend to be riskier, and more men are exposed to hazards in the workplace. Men experience more motor vehicle accidents and have higher rates of alcoholism and smoking. In addition, males tend to drive more aggressively than females, and men on average smoke more cigarettes and drink more alcohol than women. These excess risks in men tend to increase the likelihood of heart disease and malignancy.

Why do women live longer than men?

Waldron I, Johnston S.

Abstract

In the contemporary United States, males have 60 percent higher mortality than females. In Part I, published in the previous issue, we showed that 40 percent of this sex differential in mortality is due to a twofold elevation of arteriosclerotic heart disease among men. Major causes of higher rates of arteriosclerotic heart disease in men include greater cigarette smoking among men; probably a greater prevalence of the competitive, aggressive Coronary Prone Behavior Pattern among men; and possibly a protective role of female hormones. In addition, men have higher death rates for lung cancer and emphysema, primarily because more men smoke cigarettes. In Part II we analyze the other major causes of men's higher death rates: accidents, suicide, and cirrhosis of the liver. Each of these is related to behaviors which are encouraged or accepted more in men than in women in our society--for example, using guns, being adventurous and acting unafraid, working at hazardous jobs and drinking alcohol. We conclude with suggestions for reducing male mortality; for example, by changing the social conditions which foster in men the behaviors that elevate their mortality.

have less comorbidities than males

I follow

Need to know some medical reasons? I understand premenopause estrogenic protection, but from poor to economically & socially equatable nations wherevgender differences in quality of life are minimal, still maintain higher longevity for females. What protects them the most medically?

Of course, men smoke and drink alcohol more than women

Usually most of men work harder than women especially in Asia and Arabic nations.

Why do men die before their wives? Because they want to, according to an old joke. Here, in pictorial form, are some other answers:

Apparently most "winners" of the Darwin Awards (for those who have contributed to human evolution by selecting themselves out of the gene pool) are men:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_Awards
• https://www.cnet.com/news/darwin-awards-studdy-suggests-men-a-lot-less-intelligent-than-women/

In herbal Science it is clear that due to excessive ejaculation of semen from male , life length, body fitness of males are decreases .

1. Man loses semen by excessive intercourse

2. Extra marital affairs

3. Adopting artificial means

On the other hand up-taking of food materials by women is lesser than that of men, which may have an impact in the life of men. Hormone functions may play a vital role as women body have a significant role of hormone in their cycle.

Thanks

According to my concept, Females do share their emotions easily Nd feels relaxed.

Dear Prabhjot Kaur

but still it is the difference between testosterone and estradiol?'

There ought to be other reasons?

Regards

Dear Karl Pfeifer

It was really interesting. Never knew about "Darwin's award" and the "Male idiot theory"

So there must be some biology, rather pathology this88.7% of idiotic behaviors shown by men.

Anyway thanks a lot.

One of the reseaon the male takes lot of stress as compare female therefore, female lives longer than male.

Genetic differences.

Because one of the old views is that men wear themselves down to work, digging their own graves early. Whether they work in a mine, or in the plowing of the earth, you see them putting their bodies to an extra effort, and then pile up the injuries they have suffered to show up in their late days.

Excellent question. Difficult to answer. Premature Cardiovascular disease and related mortality (defined as men below 55 and women below 65 years)

Is less in women probably because of the hormonal effects and occurrence of less risk factors especially smoking in most communities. In the modern world, I do not think there is any significant difference in the work related stress between the two genders.

Deaths related to accidents are more in men than women.

It is a paradox that men are more often treated and hospitalised for CVD and other non communicable diseases ( roughly 70% Vs 30%). Also, they undergo complex procedures and interventions, more often. But it does not translate into improved survival!

According to David Robson (BBC, 2 October 2015 )

Men work themselves into an early grave. They put extra stress on their bodies when working and amassed injuries that caught up with them later in life.

I believe the genetic programming differ between male and females differ and we may have axcquire this difference over thousands of years like other so any traits. No sure how exactly our genes differ, but there seems to be data fast emerging now to segregate those genes which are more damaging to males and females and the coincidence may be both physiological and anatomical.

But what exactly has been happening, the data seems to be in pieces and may be God created theme to pass on immunity to next generation so gave in return to them a stronger immune system. So yes hormones are one things but stronger immunity may be one more and definitely underlying all this will be variant genetic framework helping ladies to live longer for the purpose already defined.

No significant difference in lifespan between female and male was found in a limited study of physicians (1). However, gender studies have shown that biological systems with maternal mitochondrial fac-tors and complex hormonal influences on lipid metabolism as well as responses to stress contribute to the gender difference in life expec-tancy. Heavy alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, obesity, unheal-thy diet, physical inactivity during leisure time, diabetes mellitus, cardio-vascular diseases and suicidal ideation among physicians are modifi-able risk factors that can reduce life expectancy through higher morta-lity. The ratio of biological predispositions to nonbiological risk factors or treatable diseases is estimated at 25%: 75% (1).

A more comprehensive description of life expectancy in European countries has been edited by Ginges &Weigl: Gender-Specific Life Expectancy in Europe 1850-2010. Steiner, Stuttgart, 2016.

Almost all research has concluded that women in all countries have longer ages than men. But why do women live more than men? Old hypotheses say the reason is that men are overwhelmed by work, hard work, stressful, reckless and often victimized, making them more likely to die prematurely than with soft sex. If we take the results of a recent study of geriatric researchers from the University of Southern California Davis School, men are more likely to develop heart disease and therefore give their Lord in the form of earlier women. The study included a large number of people born between the early 19th century and 1935 in 13 developed countries, where mortality rates were measured among adults over 40 years of age. The research team reported that among individuals born after 1880, Women are more than 70 percent more likely than men to be at risk, and when screening for causes, smoking-related and cardiovascular disease-related illnesses are almost the number one casualty in most deaths. However, smoking-related diseases and heart problems alone do not justify the difference in age between men and women. A combination of genetic, biological, hormonal, sexual, immunological and health factors is in women's interest and makes them more years than men. Some aspects of this combination can be understood through the following facts: In women have been slower than men. This finding was reached through a study of Japanese researchers at the Tokyo School of Medicine who found that the number of lymphocytes responsible for defense against microbial diseases increased in women as they age, While they decreased in men. - The hearts of women are stronger than men's hearts. In a study of 250 people between the ages of 18 and 80 years, supervised by researchers from the University of Liverpool John Morris, the British, it turns out that the hearts of men lose a quarter of their strength and their ability to pump blood with age, While the hearts of women remain young and strong and work well as if the age of twenty. She is going to the clinics and hospitals as if she is going on a walk. In contrast, the man is arrogant and may live with his pains and pains until he falls victim to a fatal disease that could have been avoided if he went and sought medical advice at the time. Earlier. - Women are less likely to practice bad habits that lead to premature death than men. Smoking, over-eating, suppressing feelings of tension, dangerous risks, alcohol abuse, and possession of weapons are male stereotypes that negatively affect their lives and lead to age Early, it seems that the menopausal testosterone storm seen in the early man's body has a role in making men more likely to commit foolishness and serious risks. - Women have a 10-year delay in cardiovascular disease compared with men, and everyone knows the scientific justification, which is still said, that female hormone estrogen is responsible for protecting the hearts of women. Moreover, there are biological indications that the hormone has anti-oxidant properties that help remove toxic chemicals that cause cell stress. Are there any genetic causes that justify women's longevity? Yes, scientists say the reason lies in the genes that make women live longer than men. In each cell of the man there is one gene called "X" taken from his mother, and the other is called "Wai" takes him from his father, but in the woman, each cell contains the genes of the type of «X», and since the gene «X» is The dominant role is positive in terms of the way in which cells work to benefit women more than men. Having a gene from the X version makes the cell have a ready-made reserve in the event of an emergency in one's work. It's because it has two different versions. - Women are older because they cry. Since childhood, women have become accustomed to crying, which is the balm to cure negative emotions, such as anger, sadness, pain and sediment, which contribute to longevity. The men who suffer from this are soothing their feelings. But they quickly turn into organic pains that rush to the other world. In conclusion, the man, despite the strength of his body, his muscular muscles and his stamina, lives less than five to ten years, a fact that has been known for decades. There are clear factors explaining this difference in the years of life between males and females, but these factors do not explain everything alone. Males are more rude, more violent, and more prone to accidents and diseases than females. What is crystal clear is that the men's army is gradually decreasing to the point that at the age of 80 it is close to half the number of women.

Following

In the past a high percentage of women died in childbirth, often only a few got beyond 30. Although it remains considerably less of a killer, only a hundred years ago old age would have probably been for only a small number of women.

Thanks everybody for our input. I believe the reasons are both genetics, immune based and the social factors which can't just be ignored.

The average life of men and women is almost same. Women in their reproductive age have lower risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD) may be due to high levels of estrogen hormone. But postmenopausal women have risk factors of CVD equal to men.

The chromosomes and hormones between men and women affect longevity. Males tend to have more fat surrounding the organs, whereas women tend to have more fat sitting directly under the skin. This difference is determined both by estrogen and the presence of the second X chromosome in females; and it matters for longevity because fat surrounding the organs predicts cardiovascular disease

I agree with @ Segun Michael Abegunde
