Yes! It's a fact that on average, females live the longest. Women are biologically fitter than men, due to genetic and hormonal differences; consequently they benefit more from advances in medical science and economic progress.
Race, gender, and location also play a key role in life expectancy and in the USA, researchers have found 8 "Americas". In this study, it showed that Asian females in the USA averaged the highest life span of 84.9 years. Locally, Asian American women living in Bergan County, NJ lived the longest with the average of 91 years.
The next highest life span was low income rural whites from the northern region of the US ( ie Minnesota, South Dakota, etc,) was the 2nd longest average at 79 years.
In third place: Middle America (mostly white) 77.9 years
In fouth place: Low income white's in Appalachia, Mississippi Valley 75 years
In 5th place: Western American Indians 72.9 years
In 6th place: Black Middle America 72.7
In 7th place: Southern low-income rural blacks 71.2
In 8th place: High-Risk urban blacks at 71.1 years

Women are 6 times as likely to live to 100 than men. Dr. Thomas Perls, director of New England Centenarian study donate more than a half a liter of blood every 2 months to mimic menstruation and he hopes, slow the aging process. This menstruation theory believes that women becomes iron deficient. Iron is a critical factor in our cell's ability to produce those nasty molecules, called free radicals that play an important role in aging.. There must be some truth to this. Because during the early years of medicine,blood letting or electrophoresis was commonly used. This is accomplished sometimes by the use of leeches. Also, a study made on the female centenarians account for their longevity with out the men causing less neuroticism. Estrogen is also thought of playing a protective role from aging and the susceptibility to diseases.

Of course women live longer. Just think of that guys die in war, police work, and other dangerous work in scores more than women. That brings the average down. I'm sure also that even for guys who live to a natural death that a lifetime of harder physical work has worn them out quicker than women.
yes I know there are many women involed in military, police, and heavy work etc. just talking about averages here.

there are quite some theories obtainable about why females stay longer than adult men. maximum of them at the on the spot are not biologically depending. quite some them say it has extra to do with the launch of rigidity (females examine with one yet another extra about personal topics causing rigidity and men have a tendency to save their emotions bottled up). inner rigidity that would not get released may reason quite some wellbeing complications and probably contributes a great deal to the existence expectancy of adult men being decrease. to respond to your question fairly, I extraordinarily doubt that replacing genders (not sex; sex is between your legs) can make any distinction one way or the different on your existence expectancy. nicely, it fairly is, except your "new you" participated in intense danger sexual sex and also you stuck a ailment and died previous to you may have.
