How much longer does a woman live than a man?

Answer 1

Maybe it's because of how their created is certainly an option.

Maybe some of it is because of the way the records are kept & perhaps its because of the differences in the roles men & women play in society.

Traditionally until the 1920, it was unacceptable for women to smoke so not as many died from lung cancer, Men did most of the smoking so their mortality from cancer was MUCH higher & at younger ages.

BUT one of the biggest young causes of mortality in women has always been childbirth, so virtually no men died in their teens, 20s-40s from child birth so that swung the scale back toward the average being higher for men.

But in the 20th century THREE HUGE things happened with child birth mortality. More babies survived, MORE women survived & Birth Control became available & the average family dropped from about 7 to 4 and that again swings the weight back to women living longer on average,

WAR, what is it good for; absolutely nothing, except to the undertaker, so says the song from the 70s! WW II alone killed over 60 million people world wide & almost all the soldiers were MEN & the bulk of the rest were likely men. and that skews the average.

More men than women die in auto accidents & from smoking and heart attacks and the riskiest jobs in the world are all done by men. No ladies on The Deadliest Catch TV show!
