Briefly describe some of the aspects of the gender gap in life expectancy
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: Women live approximately 4–10 years longer than men, and more female babies survive the prenatal, infancy, and childhood period than male babies. At age 85, there are 2.57 women for every male. Higher levels of estrogen and progesterone hormones and better lifestyle help to protect women from heart disease and live healthier lives. The gender gap increased in the 1980s, although it seems to have leveled off since then due to similar lifestyles between men and women.
