Everywhere in the world women live longer than men - but this was not always the case. The available data from rich countries shows that women didn't live longer than men in the 19th century. Why do women live so much longer than men today, and why is this difference growing over time? There isn't much evidence and we're left with only incomplete answers. Although we know that there are biological, psychological and environmental factors that play an integral role in women who live longer than males, it isn't clear the extent to which each factor plays a role.

We have learned that women live longer than males, regardless of weight. But, this is not due to the fact that certain biological factors have changed. What are these new factors? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Some are more complex. For example, there is evidence that in rich countries the female advantage increased in part because infectious diseases used to affect women disproportionately a century ago, so advances in medicine that reduced the long-term health burden from infectious diseases, especially for survivors, ended up raising women's longevity disproportionately.
