The average lifespan for men around the world is 71. The average lifespan for women? 76.

Hey why do women live longer than men?

First of all, females have a genetic advantage when it comes to aging thanks to an extra X chromosome. In other words, they can have double copies of every gene. Female hormones also are more likely to help women live longer. There is evidence that, due to higher estrogen levels, women are able to fight disease better than men.

Due to higher testosterone levels, men have historically taken more life-threatening risks and been more willing to be violent. Men tend to smoke more, they drink more, they eat more.

And finally, a woman’s body has evolved to handle the trauma of pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding, which tends to make their bodies stronger.
