these are the reasons ive heard:
1. oestrogen protects womens hearts so they start having heart attacks when they stop producing as much oestrogen in mid-50s onwards - whereas men start having heart attacks in their 40s.
2. women get more support socially.
3. men live less healthy lifestyles - exercising less, eating worse, drinking more etc.
4. men are more likely to be killed due to violent behaviour, and in wars etc.
are there any other explanations for why women live longer?

because men cant deal with stress like woman can and stress is the number one killer , woman cry, and carry on, we might call them crazy but the hole time they are acting crazy and week they are releasing there stress. men are taught at a young age not to cry, don't let any one help you, do it all your self. and they hold it all inside and it kills them eventually. but trying to sneak around and get stray tale is hard to it wares you down. and then when you get caught people judge you and make you feel bad for what you have done. the stress of all that is very hard on a man. its hard to avoid to because a man is like a dog he is just doing what his instinct's are telling him to do. i no you probably think i am crazy but check this out, dogs what do the do to them ? they nuder them are cut there balls off what ever you want to call it. after a dogs balls are cut off they say the dog is more happy. and the dogs live longer, and have fewer medical problem, and a lower rate of cancer. just ask a vet. THINK ABOUT IT.

I think all of the reasons you give are true. I'm glad you didn't say the usualy chauvinist thing about, women live longer because men do all the hard work!
I think women are often constitutionally and emotionally stonger than men. Also, I think men wear themselves out by thinking about sex every 6 seconds! (just joking...!)

Men tend to be less observant of details than women, and their pride or inability to find fault with themselves prevents their seeking care.

Because the majority of men still believe in that "til death do us part" stuff instead of divorce.
