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. Why do women live so longer than men, and why does this benefit increase in the past? We only have partial evidence and the evidence is not sufficient to draw an informed conclusion. We know there are behavioral, biological and environmental variables which all play a part in women who live longer than men, we don't know how much each one contributes.<br><br>Independently of the exact amount of weight, we are aware that at least a portion of the reason why women live longer than men, but not in the past, has to be due to the fact that several key non-biological factors have changed.
