In this video we discuss why women live longer than men. Obviously this is the case because women are far superior. They are smarter, stronger, and better looking? No just kidding, but if we look at the numbers, than indeed women live averagely 4-7 years longer.
The evidence to answer this question is limited and we only have partial answers.
However, we know that biological, behavioral and environmental factors all contribute to the fact that women live longer than men. However, we we don’t know exactly how strong the relative contribution of each of these factors is.
- Biological: Chromosomes and Hormones
- Behavioral: Life-style (Smoking, Alcohol, drugs), Risk taking
- Environmental: physical work, working conditions
In the video I explain why and how each of these factors contributes to female longevity.

I was really curious about this topic. Lots of insight. I think a lot of it is contributed to two things out if the rest, stressful jobs outside for men (at least in my parent’s case) than doing the chores etc. at home.. And 2nd I guess that visceral fat we store in our mid section!! Gotta start doing more cardio and eating healthy.. lol ;)

In my family men outlive the woman by 8 to 10 years radius. My great great grandma died at age 80, my great grandma died at age 82, my grandma died at age 94, where my great great grandfather died at age 72, my great grandfather died at age 74, my grandfather died at age 84. We eat simple food, daily exercise, spend time with family, every year 2 to 3 trip, no overtime, time to sleep and time to time medical check up. Family life expectancy increase a lot.

If you had the power to set an age limit for how long one can live, what age would you choose? You need to set different age for male and female You don't have any other options; it doesn't matter whether you want to or not, you need to set an age limit.
