Why do women live longer than men?
Consider Sweden, which offers the most reliable historic records. In 1800, life expectancy at birth was 33 years for women and 31 years for men; today it is 83.5 years and 79.5 years, respectively. In both cases, women live about 5% longer than men.I have read several good explanations for this
1.women move more are more active besides a day job most women also work at home. They move more.
2.Men also have a greater tendency to smoke, eat poorly and avoid exercise.
3.In China eunuchs (no testicles) lived a very long time. Testosterone, women don't have that problem cuts live short. testosterone make man bigger and more aggressive.
4.Women that have children take care of themselves more because for the child it's more important that the female body is in good shape.
5.In almost all the world there is a Morbidity-mortality paradox (that is, women are sicker but live longer). Woman report more illnesses, more doctor visits and more hospital stays than men. (I am like this I never go to the doctor)
6.women are more devoted to religion than man.Being religious confers big benefits. Time and again, studies have shown that people who have a religious faith are more likely to be healthy and happy than those who lack one.
My take is just one. Woman are busier than man. I can stay in the sofa/Couch reading a book and drinking some tea for hours. My wife just piles things to do all day and sometimes tries to pass them to me ( not nice). So if you want to live longer just get a hobby just be busy.
