i have always wondered this question and now i can finally ask lol...............?

Question

y do women have longer life expectancies than men !!!!!!!!!???????

Answer 1

Well...the traditional man works in the stressful situations and is out in the world dealing with stress from work and such...and women stayed at home.....

But nowadays the gap is getting smaller because of the changing workplace.

You'd be suprised how much stress affects your health

Answer 2

Part of the answer is behavioral. Men are more likely to smoke than women and are also more likely to take risks, making them more susceptible to life-threatening injuries. Biological differences also help to explain women's higher longevity. Scientists believe that estrogen in women combats conditions such as heart disease by helping reduce circulatory levels of harmful cholesterol. Women are also thought to have stronger immune systems than men.

Answer 3

They really look good but they don't last very long.
They have to work really hard in coal mines and on rail roads.
They don't take care of their self either. Some smoke and drink and run around with wild women. They won't go to the doctor when they are sick. They eat to much bacon and clogs their arteries and blows up their heart. Shouldn't eat pigs.

Answer 4

In India many women outlive their men.Life expectancy depends on condition of heart.If what people say is correct"women have no heart" the reason for long life is obvious.

Answer 5

Something to do with telomeres.

"Clearly, a larger body requires more cell doublings, especially due to the ongoing regeneration of tissues over a lifetime. Accordingly, the replicative history of male cells might be longer than that of female cells, resulting in the exhaustion of the regeneration potential and the early onset of age-associated diseases predominantly in large-bodied males."

Answer 6

well, that's only women in general. most women don't put their life on the line like daring men, but some women do. also, women are less likely to become alcoholic.

Answer 7

this is true in the uk tho not everywhere in the world generally its due to lifestyle and the fact that women tend to seek help wen they r ill n guys will just moan how bad they feel instead of doin sum thin about it

Answer 8

because women take better care of themselves and u never see a woman working in construction or doing anything heavy when men do...but women also have higher risks of catching diseases like breast cancer, etc.
