Men get and die of such things as heart disease at a younger age than do women (men usually get signs of heart disease in their 40s and 50s-- women do in their postmenopausal years [60-80s]. Estrogen (a female hormone) may be protective. This is one of the reasons why women tend to live longer than men. Work related stress and lifestyle habits (diet habits, smoking, and drinking) may also play roles. Also, more men are probably exposed to industrial toxins than are women, resulting in later neurological and oncological illness.
The gap between men and women regarding life expectancy, however, is closing somewhat now. The reasons, in part, may be that cancer has become a scourge of 20-21st century medicine thanks to the fashion of cigarette smoking and also because more women are in the work force.

Scientists say that a woman's heart goes on performing just as well, even when she is old, while a man's heart loses 25% of its pumping power by the time he reaches the age of 70. Apparently, men can significantly reduce the rate at which their hearts lose power by taking regular exercise, say the scientists. A man aged 50-70 who does a lot of exercise has a heart as strong as a 20 year old sedentary male

It is primarily thought to be due to the cardio-protective effects of oestrogen. For the 40 years that this provides cover it reduces heart attack and stroke risk. After the menopause risks rise, but from a much lower position than the equivalently aged males.

because males physically operate at higher performance with its not possible due to the stresses it eventually causes especially the heart males typically enjoy a much slower heart rate due to being stronger however you cannot keep this up for ever, its a bit like pedigree pet breeds that only live for a few years before getting large medical conditions

Because from natures point of view, men are needed to fertilise the egg : job done.
Women have to: look after, nurture, protect from harm, feed, clothe, teach the offspring etc. : A woman's work is never done. lol

You know Rob, a nuclear reactor is a lot like a woman. You just have to read the manual and press the right buttons...longevity has got nothing to do with it.

Men work harder, and for longer hours. The women spend the money that the men earn, and live longer. Sex change anyone?
