1. Women live longer than men primarily because they are less likely to sustain unintentional injury (due to dangerous behavior).
2. Women also are more likely to have stronger social networks (i.e., be better connected to people), and they take better care of themselves.
3. Men are less likely to regularly visit the doctor, more likely to take risks, and less likely to reach out to others when they need help. All of these factors combine to shorten men’s lives.
