Examine individual changes

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. What's the reason women have a longer life span than men? What is the reason the advantage has grown over time? The evidence is sketchy and we have only some solutions. While we are aware that there are biological, psychological as well as environmental factors that all play a role in women who live longer than males, we aren't sure how much each factor contributes.<br><br>We know that women are living longer than men, regardless of weight. However, this is not due to the fact that certain non-biological factors have changed. What are these changing factors? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. There are other issues that are more intricate. For example, there is evidence that in rich countries the female advantage increased in part because infectious diseases used to affect women disproportionately a century ago, so advances in medicine that reduced the long-term health burden from infectious diseases, especially for survivors, ended up raising women's longevity disproportionately.<br><br>Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men<br>The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. We can see that every country is above the diagonal parity line - this means in all countries a newborn girl can expect to live for longer than a new boy.1<br><br>This chart shows that, while there is a female advantage throughout the world, the differences between countries can be substantial. In Russia, women live 10 years more than men.

The next chart compares the male and female lifespans at birth in the US from 1790 to 2014. Two points stand out.<br><br>The first is that there is an upward trend: Men and women in the US have a much longer life span longer today than a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.<br><br>The gap is growing: Although the female advantage in life expectancy used to be very small, it has increased substantially over time.<br><br>You can check if the points you've listed are applicable to other countries with data by clicking the "Change country" option in the chart.
