In theory?
1.) Women are more socially allowed to express their emotions. The withholding of emotional reactions creates stress on the body.
2.) Men tend to eat differently than women, especially during their single years. Their diets are higher in red meat and junk food, which strains the heart, kidneys, liver, etc.
3.) Statistically, men are less likely to get an annual physical than women. This means that, frequently, potential health problems are not caught before they become genuine issues.
4.) In the past, men tended to have the more physically exertive and dangerous jobs. This exposed them to hazards that either killed them instantly or accumulated over time to create health problems in later life. This isn't necessarily true today, but as recently as 3-4 generations ago, it was.

girls enter puberty earlier in life, that's right on schedule, they aren't aging faster.
Lot's of reasons why the life expectancy of women is longer.
Life expectancy is reached by averaging, guy do stupid dangerous things that get them killed between 15 and 35 anyone who punches out early drags down the average.
Most women aren't huge risk takers when compared with men, at least not in the adrenaline junkey sense.
Male hormones depress the immune system, female hormones boost it, over a lifetime this reduces wear and tear on the body for women.
Men's bodies compromise efficiency for physical strength. Women's bodies have evolved to cope with a long pregnancy and the attendant strains on their organ systems that come from our relatively large fetuses. Women's organs have to perform to a higher standard of efficiency, so they last longer.

Women mature faster than men because we are the gender responsible for childbirth. The future of the species depends on our ability to develop mentally and emotionally at the same rate our bodies develop physically. Not to be crude, but it does not take the same level of emotional and mental maturity to plant a seed as it does to nourish one.
With regard to the gender gap in life expectancy, that is shrinking rapidly as women push the boundaries of their traditionally defined roles. Now that we are in the workplace and attempting to compete with men on the same playing field, we are subject to many of the same hazards they are; heart disease, hypertension, cancer from environmental sources just to name few. You gotta take the good with the bad.

Marriages were typically prepared or a woman will be promised to a guy. women people were typically predicted to commence having little ones at the same time as they began menstruating (having their era). when they began getting their era then they could be wed and predicted to commence having little ones. The age would in all likelihood count number upon the lady, i'd wager between 12-14.

A study showed that more males are born than females. Since males are more curios and do something not so bright, they die at a younger age. This makes the male/female ratio about 50/50. That means the younge people who die bring down the average life for males.
Don't know source.

Maturity is the mental development of a person and does not always coincide with age. Therefore how long a person lives is not reletive to there mental state.
